D-Link Router is a simple and reliable means to organize a home wireless network

More and more users of the World Wide Web are striving to deploy a wireless network at home. Most often for these purposes, equipment such as the D-Link router is used. This brand has long been synonymous with the word "quality". This company began to produce network equipment back in the 90s, and since then it is considered one of the leaders in this segment of information technology. Wireless D-Link routers are no exception, they perfectly combine reliability and availability.

One of the latest and most modern devices of this manufacturer of this class is the DIR-651. It is capable of transmitting data at a speed of 300 Mbit / s and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. It also provides one port for connecting to the provider and 4 ports for connecting using device wires over an Ethernet network. It supports network protection with keys that are encoded either by WEP or WPA / WPA2. The D-Link DIR-651 router is an entry-level device whose resources will be quite sufficient for novice users. At the same time, high quality and reasonable price will make this choice quite justified.

A higher place in the hierarchy of instruments of this manufacturer is occupied by DIR-815. Most of its technical specifications do not differ from the previous one (DIR-651). But there is one significant difference, which is that it is able to operate in 2 bands at once, and due to this, a larger data stream will be transmitted.

The next class of devices includes the D-Link DIR-857 HD Media Router 3000 router. It also operates in 2 bands - 2.4GHz and 5GHz. It differs from the previous model by the increased data transfer rate (450 Mbit / s vs. 150 Mbit / s). This high transfer speed allows him to transfer movies without any problems in HD-quality, hence the part of the name of the model. Another advantage of this device is the increased range of Wi-Fi network. Also, it has a separate port for connecting the hard disk, and due to this, its functionality is even more extended. The DIR-857 is positioned as a premium router with the appropriate price.

Also, the D-Link router is used to work in 3G networks, and for this purpose the DIR-456 is intended. This device has a smaller hardware stuffing, but it has another purpose. There is one input port for switching with the equipment of the provider, two ports for a wired local network. There is a RJ-11 connector for connecting to a city phone, which, with this connection, will already work as a mobile phone. Also there is a USIM slot in which the SIM card should be installed. Only then will it be possible to work in third generation networks.

Finally, we note how you can configure the router D-Link, for example, the model DIR-651. The configuration of the remaining devices is not fundamentally different, and the above algorithm can also be used in them. The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. We connect the router to the provider's network (the yellow port on the back side).
2. We connect, if necessary, devices on a wired network (for example, PC, blue ports on the back side).
3. Connect the power supply to the corresponding connector.
4. Have included and given time for it to boot.
5. Next, turn on the laptop or PC. When it is ready to work, start the browser and enter it on the command line 192.168.1.1.
6. In the appeared request we enter login and password, which are specified in the instruction.
7. In the appeared window we press the button with the inscription "Click-n-Connect".
8. Then we select the option of setting up the delivery of addresses - static or dynamic (this information is provided by the provider).
9. In the next step, if necessary, enter the MAC address.
10. Then configure the Wi-Fi connection - enable this option with the appropriate checkbox, enter the network name and create a password. It is recommended to use the WPA2 method, which provides the maximum level of security.
11. Then click the "Save" button.
12. After clicking the "Reload" button, the router is restarted, after which it is completely ready to work.

This procedure is not very complicated, you can do it yourself. When choosing a router, you must proceed from the budget capabilities and requirements for a future device. Based on this, you should make a purchase.
