Connecting the router to a computer and configuring it takes place in several stages: connecting to a PC, changing parameters, creating a wireless network. First, the power supply is connected to the mains and an internet cable is inserted into the router connector. For a personal computer to which the Internet is connected, it is necessary to connect a separate wire from the system unit to the router. It is included in the lan port. This will then allow you to create a Wi-Fi zone in the apartment without constantly switching the cable to other equipment.
Settings
Sometimes a router was presented to the user by someone from relatives or friends who used it. There remain settings suitable for a specific PC or laptop, so it becomes necessary to return the router to its original parameters. This is done very simply by pressing the reset button (back panel) on the router with a paper clip. After 20 seconds, release it, turn off the power and wait a few minutes. This is how the settings are reset, which is checked by going to the access menu on the computer. All fields must be empty there.
After that, you can start configuring the D-Link DIR-300. First, you need to go to any Internet browser and enter the IP address of the router. By default, most of them have the default combination 192.168.0.1, which needs to be changed. To do this, the user must go to the website of the manufacturer of this equipment and enter a new IP through the settings. For example, 172.16. (house number where the person lives) .1. Further, any username is entered, while the password box should be empty. When the settings are saved, then you need to create a Wi-Fi network.

It is worth visiting the manufacturer's website again, where you will find the Manual Wireless Connection Setup menu. There you need to follow the instructions until a window appears on the screen with two blank lines - user and password. It is necessary to enter them so that they coincide with the agreement on the use of the services of the Internet company. After that, a reconnection takes place, and you need to enter the password again, and the lines Mac address, MTU, wan physical setting will appear. They must be filled in one by one, according to the contract, after which all changes must be saved. And only then you can create a Wi-Fi network, which is configured by analogy.
