The purpose of this manual is to write the most complete and detailed instruction on how to set up a D-Link DIR-300 NRU Wi-Fi router to work with a Beeline provider. Step by step, it will tell you how to connect a router and what settings on your computer you should pay attention to, how to set up an L2TP connection for Beeline, as well as wireless network parameters. We will separately touch upon the setting of Beeline television. In general, the goals are set, let's start.
Before you start configuring the DIR-300
First of all, I will note for which specific wireless routers this instruction is written, it is completely suitable for:
- D-Link DIR-300NRU B5 (Firmware 1.4.3, 1.4.9)
- D-Link DIR-300NRU B6 (Firmware 1.4.3, 1.4.9)
- D-Link DIR-300NRU B7 (firmware 1.4.8 or other 1.4)
It is quite easy to find out which version of the router and with which firmware you have - just look at the sticker on the back of it.
The next thing to say is about the firmware of the Wi-Fi router. You may not do this, but it is possible that without the latest or at least a relatively new firmware, your router will not work very stable, especially with Beeline. The latest firmware for D-Link DIR-300NRU routers has an index 1.4.x - we will consider the setting for this particular firmware here. You can read how to update the router's firmware in the "Firmware" section of this website, and also see the video below.
I also note that if your router has firmware 1.3.0 or other 1.3 and you do not plan to update it, you can also use this manual - the router is configured in the same way, all you need to do is to click “Configure manually ", Further steps to configure are no different.
The Beeline firmware - the one that is offered for installation on the official website of the provider - is not something I can recommend. You can install it, but, if necessary, returning the factory version of D-Link firmware back is not a trivial task.
Connecting D-Link DIR-300 to a Computer
In this, I hope, there will be nothing difficult for you - the Beeline cable is connected to the Internet port on the back of the router, and the router is connected to the computer with a network cable, which is included in the delivery set of the device. After that, you just need to plug the router into an outlet.
Note: do not start the Beeline connection on the computer after you start configuring the router - neither before nor after. Otherwise, you will get the situation that users most often turn to - there is Internet on the computer, but it connects via Wi-Fi, but does not work. The thing is that from now on (after the configuration is completed) the connection will be established by the router itself, and then "distribute" it to other devices, and if you run the Internet on your computer, the router will not be able to install it. In general, remember: do not run the Internet on your PC during and after setting up the router, the Internet will be available via the local network.
- In Windows 7 and Windows 8, go to the Network and Sharing Center and then select "Change adapter settings" on the left. Right-click on the local connection with which you are connected to the router, click "Properties" and go to the third point.
- In Windows XP, go to Control Panel - Network Connections and right-click on the local connection icon, select Properties from the context menu and go to the next item.
- In the list of components used by the connection, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP / IPv4" and click the "Properties" button in the lower right.
- Make sure that the IP address and DNS server addresses are obtained automatically (as in the picture), if this is not the case, adjust them.
Configuring an L2TP Beeline connection on a D-Link DIR-300 router
The first and main task when setting up a Wi-Fi router is to force it to connect to the Internet instead of a computer. The Beeline Internet provider uses an L2TP connection, which we will configure now.
Note: if you've tried to set up yourDIR-300, but unsuccessfully, reset it to factory settings - for this, press and hold (on the switched on router) the buttonReset from the back for 10 seconds, then release it.
First of all, launch your favorite browser and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press Enter - as a result, a login and password request should appear to enter the router settings interface. Enter the default values for the D-Link DIR-300 NRU router - admin in both fields.
The next thing you will see is a request to change the factory password, and then the main page of the router settings, where we will perform all the actions.
On the next page, click the Add button.
Now the most basic thing is to configure the L2TP connection parameters for Beeline in the router. We fill in the fields as follows:
- Connection type - L2TP + Dynamic IP
- Name - any name of the connection, is not used anywhere, you do not need to change it
- Username and password - your data Beeline
- VPN server address - tp.internet.beeline.ru
- The rest of the data can not be changed: if you have any doubts, then just rewrite from the above image - it has working parameters for Beeline.
Click the "Save" button. After that, you will see the page with the list of connections again, where the connection you just created will be located and it will be terminated. Also, at the top of the page there will be an indicator that notifies that the settings of the router have been changed and must be saved. Do this (i.e., we save two times in total - this is necessary so that after the router is turned off from the network, the settings are not reset).
Wait a minute and refresh the page. If you did everything correctly and did not forget to turn off the Internet on the computer, then you will see that the newly created Beeline connection is in the "Connected" state - ie. Internet from this computer is already available. It remains to configure the parameters of the wireless network, put the password on Wi-Fi and, if necessary, set up the IPTV television.
Setting up a wireless network on D-Link DIR-300
In order to configure Wi-Fi on the D-Link DIR-300 router, on the advanced settings page of the router in the Wi-Fi item, select the "Basic settings" item, then fill in the following fields:
- SSID - here you should specify the desired name of the wireless network, in Latin letters and numbers, you will see it when you connect to Wi-Fi from a laptop, phone or other device and it will allow you to distinguish your network from others.
- The rest of the items can be left unchanged. Click the "Change" button
After that, on the same Wi-Fi tab, open the "Security Settings" item and fill it in as follows (recommended):
- Network Authentication - WPA2-PSK
- Encryption key PSK - the desired password for Wi-Fi, at least 8 characters, Latin and numbers.
- Click "Change"
- Click "Save settings" at the indicator at the top of the page.
That's all, the router is configured and now the Beeline Internet can be used from any device equipped with a Wi-Fi module.
Setting up a Beeline television on the DIR-300
In order to set up Beeline television (IPTV) on this router, you do not need any special skills. Just return to the main page of the router settings at 192.168.0.1, select the "IP TV" item, then specify which port will be used to connect the Beeline TV set-top box. Click edit and then, at the top, save. That's all, the TV setup is complete.
In case something does not work or does not work, you can write in the comments. In the future, a section is planned on the site with the solution of the most typical problems that arise when setting up various Wi-Fi routers, but since at the moment there is no such section, I will try to promptly answer here.
And if you succeed - also leave a comment.
DIR-300 routers from D-LINK are among the budget models. Nevertheless, devices are successfully used to organize cable and wireless local area networks that unite users using Wi-Fi technology. The work takes place in the networks of the main Internet operators.
Configuring the D-LINK DIR-300 router for Beeline is easily performed by the user independently, subject to the recommendations of the article.
The connectors for making cable connections are located on the rear panel of the product body. An RJ-45 connector designated as WAN (Internet) is connected to a cable from a provider using an FTTx-type leased line connection. In our case, it is "Beeline". The other RJ-45s, designated LAN1-LAN4, are for cable subscribers that do not have built-in wireless modules.
To power the router from the network, a rectifier device with a plug connector inserted into the socket marked "5V = 1.2A" is used. There is an additional ON / OFF button to turn on the power. The Reset / Restore reset button, located in the recess of the case, is designed to hardware reset the current router settings and return them to the factory values. An antenna from the stock kit for the DIR router is screwed into the high-frequency socket. Its initial configuration is performed using a stationary computer (PC) connected by an Ethernet patch cord to one of the LAN ports of the "DIR" -300 router.
Configuring PPPTP or L2TP connections from Beeline
Let's start by checking the settings of the PC's network card. Make sure DHCP is enabled to automatically assign IP addresses and DNS server addresses. TCP / IP 4 versions. If this step has not been taken, mark these items and confirm the action by clicking the OK stencil.
At the next stage, we get access to the DIR-300 interface, where we will set the Beeline network parameters. The provider recommends on its website to configure the L2TP protocol for "Beeline". For authorization, enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 DIR-300 into the address bar of the browser opened on the PC, press Enter. In the pop-up window, drive in the login and password data for login (admin / admin). After that we press "Login". We find out the IP address and authorization data from the information label on the bottom of the DIR router case.
In the "Advanced settings" section in the "Network" tab, select the WAN section. On the section page, fill in the fields as follows:
- any connection name;
- type - L2TP + Dynamic IP;
- username and password with confirmation - data from the agreement concluded with the provider;
- VPN server address - tp.internet.beeline.ru.
Additionally, mark the items with markers to automatically obtain the DNS server address, enable NAT and firewall, and automatically connect to the VPN server.
For a PPTP connection, the appropriate type is selected. The server used is vpn.internet.beeline.ru.
After executing the "Save" command, a page with the created new connection will open. At the top right, a light bulb is visible in flashing mode. It signals that the connection was broken by the "Beeline", the configuration is violated and it must be saved. We agree with the proposal, click "Save". As a result, the blinking of the light will stop, and the DIR connection will receive the "Connected" status with a lit green indicator.
IPoE setup
The operator's website has published a message that the home Internet is switching to a new type of connection, defined by Beeline as automatic. To access the network, the user does not need to click on the operator's shortcut on the PC desktop. The Internet start page appears immediately after turning on the computer. VPN activation technology requires a heavy load on the subscriber's equipment. With IPoE, a special router of the provider takes over it.
For the initial configuration on the part of the user, after entering the DIR interface, in the WAN connection type, specify "Dynamic IP address" and execute the "Save" command.
In an open web browser, go to the operator's website: login.beeline.ru. Enter the login and password from the agreement into the form, click "Enter". All settings are made on the provider's side within 10 minutes. The browser start page appears.
Setting up a wireless Wi-Fi network
Click the "Advanced settings" stencil at the bottom of the main page, find the Wi-Fi tab. Next, go to the "Basic Settings" section. In it we write the name of the network of the DIR-300 router, thanks to which we will find it in the list of available ones. Then we define the region: Russia, and the mode - 11bgn mixed, the number of the working channel and its width - "Auto". We put markers in the cells for allowing wireless broadcasting while maintaining the name of the DIR-300. We save the entered values.
Go to the "Security" section. There we set the authentication parameters: WPA / WPA2-PSK, encryption type - AES, as well as an individual key (strong password for wi fi). Click "Save".
The settings take effect after the DIR-300 is rebooted by turning it off and reactivating in a minute. The reboot is carried out along the following path: "System" - "System Tools" - "Reboot".
IPTV setup
The D-LINK DIR-300 router supports IPTV, if the operator provides such a service, and the subscriber has paid for it in advance. Watching interactive TV is carried out using an STB set-top box connected by an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports of the router. In the DIR-300 menu, select the "IP-TV" tab,
See the "IPTV Settings Wizard" section, on its page the port is programmatically assigned to the transparent bridge mode for the set-top box.
Once this assignment is stored, the LAN connector is used for TV viewing only.
Firmware
To carry out the update procedure without undesirable consequences for the consumer, it is necessary to correctly determine the hardware version for the DIR-300 or revision H / W ver. And also software version F / W ver. Information about them is available on the product label.
For example, revision B1, B2, B5, B7. The latest valid firmware of the manufacturer is located on its official website. To do this, you must specify the complete information about the used model DIR-300. The data is available in the Firmware directory as an archive. The latest issue is downloaded to your computer and unpacked. The installer file has the extension .bin.
Installing the firmware
We select the "Advanced settings" mode, find the "System" tab, and in it - the "Software update" section. On the section page, we find the "Browse" button and by clicking on it, we look for the path to the downloaded file on the PC. After finding what you are looking for, click on the "Update" button.
When the download is complete, the router will reboot. After installing the new firmware from the manufacturer, the entire procedure for setting the parameters of the DIR-300 local network has to be repeated.
Change of software from the operator
If the DIR-300 is purchased at the operator's retail outlets, the above method will not work to change the router firmware to the original factory one. The fact is that Firmware D-LINK has an installer file with the extension .bin, and Beeline is only able to “read” .fwz. At home, several methods are used to solve the problem.
In both cases, the software change begins with a hardware reset using the Reset button on the DIR-300 body or restoring the factory settings through the router menu.
In the first method, the PC in its protocol is first assigned a third-party static IP from the DHCP range. Login to the router interface is carried out at 192.168.0.1. After downloading the new original firmware, saving it on the computer in the “System” tab of the DIR-300 interface, select the “Firmware update” section. Further actions are performed as described above.
After restarting the router, you must not forget to return the computer to the automatic mode of receiving addresses in the TCP / IP protocol.
The second way is to install the "intermediate" firmware. It must be searched for on Internet sites, and then the software must be updated to its "native" effective value.
In any case, these update methods are rather risky.
If you choose the wrong source data or turn to an unverified source of information, you can disable the DIR-300 router with its subsequent possible restoration in a service center with financial costs.
Possible problems when setting up Wi-Fi routers
All problems that arise are:
- malfunctions of the hardware part of the configured equipment;
- malfunctions of its software;
- outdated or incorrectly selected firmware versions;
- user errors during the setup due to his inattention or lack of proper experience.
In general, setting up the DIR-300 router is convenient and simple. For independent actions, you need to know the general rules and features of the Beeline provider, strictly follow the step-by-step instructions presented in the article.
Who is not interested in reading the background, read the text after the quoteYesterday evening, taking a break from all the tips, I tried to change my router back to the factory firmware (when I changed it to beeline myself), I ran into difficulties. First of all, I tried to update stupidly through the menu, indicating the factory firmware version 1.3.3, the update did not happen, that is, the tsatus went that the update then even wrote that it was successful, but the standard Beeline menu comes out (the address of the router on the Beeline firmware is 192.168.1.1). then following the advice (of course the router is connected to the computer) I set up the network connection ip 192.168.0.10 mask 255.255.255.0 on the computer, cut off the power of the router I clamp the rezet I turn on wait 15 seconds (I tried both 20 and 25) trying to constantly go to the router at the address in the line 192.168 .0.1 (and 192.168.1.1 too) tried both opera and google chrome and IE in general did everything as they said in the article here I will immediately say the router did not go into the mode of replacing the firmware so to speak "emergence room" here is a copy of the article but it is for more early assemblies, there is not much difference in principle
So let's go:
1. If the router does not show any signs of life, or only the orange "power" diode is on, then first of all we take out all the cords from the router, including the power supply.
2. Download from
Attention! Register to see the hidden text.
the firmware, the .bin file from the DIR-300NRU / FIRMWARE / B1_B2_B3 folder strictly for our router and save, for example, directly to the C drive
3. We go to the settings of the network card and in the properties of the TCP / IPv4 protocol, write the IP address 192.168.0.10 mask 255.255.255.0
4. Next, we connect the network card of our computer with a wire to one of the LAN ports of the router, let it be LAN1.
(To return the factory DIR-100 firmware, you need to connect the computer's network card to the WAN port of the router (internet). Specify the location of the previously downloaded firmware and follow the fla link.)
for dir-100
5. In the off state, hold down the RESET button (with a match or other blunt object) and while holding it, connect the power to the router
6. Without releasing, hold down the RESET button (20 seconds), wait until the emergency recovery mode of the router is loaded.
7. In the Mozilla or Opera browser (not IE only), type the address 192.168.0.1 and lower the RESET button.
8. Indicate where the firmware is located (where we downloaded it) and click Upload firmware now.
Next, we wait until the update is completed.
9. If everything is done correctly, then after completion we will see the authorization window of our D-Link /
Login and password will be returned by default admin / empty
After such simple manipulations, you can restore the D-Link factory firmware after a failure, unsuccessful firmware, or after third-party firmware.I will repeat this article HAS NOT HELPED
in the end, all ingenious is simpleIt is necessary from the dlink repository office http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-300_NRU/Firmware/ to choose our assembly in our case "B5" (you can find out on the sticker on the bottom of the roter) ONLY ITS if you flash B3 then hike in the service is guaranteed in the same place on the storage you can find other useful information such as instructions for different versions of the software http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-300_NRU/.
LOOKING FOR software with the extension .fwz I chose (DIR_300NRUB5-1.2.94-20110414.fwz)
then entering the standard Beeline menu of the router at 192.168.1.1, entering the advanced settings, then the system, updating the software, select this downloaded file, click to update updates for a longer time, but no more than 4 minutes and as a result, the connection is broken or more at 192.168.1.1 the router does not appears, go to the address 192.168.0.1 and get into the router menu that was from the store, the default login and password (login admin, password admin) then update where we want and how we want, I had a need to leave the biline firmware in connection with the change of provider on TTK (left the goodline on it with the Beeline firmware it worked well) I previously connected the Beeline and the factory router from the store went to the Beeline, since the IP TV set-top boxes to the TV behaved inadequately after the rewiring, everything became stable.
In this publication, we will go through the setup of the D-Link DIR 300 NRU router to work with the Beeline operator. It will tell you step by step what settings you need to pay attention to, how to configure L2TP and other important points.
It's worth starting with the firmware. It is not necessary to install the latest software version on your device, but the router will most likely not work stably with the old firmware. The newest firmware versions for D-Link DIR 300 are designated as 1.4.x - this article will consider the configuration of the D-Link DIR 300 Wi-Fi router for the Beeline operator for this version.
The firmware from Beeline itself, which is offered to be installed on the provider's website, is not the best choice. It can be installed, however, and then rolling back the standard version is quite a difficult task.
PC connection
This point is quite simple - the Beeline Internet cable needs to be inserted into the "Internet" port, and then connect the PC to the router with an Ethernet cable. Now all that remains is to connect the D-link to the mains.
Attention: you do not need to start the Beeline connection. Otherwise, you will face a fairly common situation: everything works on the computer, but Wi-Fi does not distribute the Internet. Upon completion of the configuration, the router will itself establish the connection it needs, and after that it will "distribute" it to the rest of the devices. If you run it, then the router will not be able to establish a connection.
Checking the settings on the PC
Also, before starting the configuration, we recommend that you check the local connection.
In Windows 7 and older, open the "Network and Sharing Center", in the window that appears, select "Change adapter settings". Right-click on the item with the name of your connection. Then click "Properties".
If you have Windows XP, then select the item network connections in the control panel, click on the local connection icon - "Properties".
Find Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP / IPv4 in the list of components that the connection uses, select it, and click Properties.
IP address and DNS server addresses should be obtained automatically.
Accessing the settings
The main task is to get the router to connect to the Network instead of the PC. Beeline uses the L2TP protocol for connection.
Note: if you previously set up the DIR 300, but nothing came of it, then it is better to immediately return it to the factory default values: press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds.
Now it's time to launch your browser and go to 192.168.0.1. Enter the standard values in the form there - admin / admin for the login and password, respectively.
L2TP configuration
Now we turn to the main thing - configuring L2TP connection parameters for Beeline. The fields must be filled in like this:
Click "Save". After that you will be shown a page with connections: there should be a new connection. In addition, there will be an indicator at the top. It means that there have been certain changes in the settings and they need to be saved. Do it.
Now we need to set up Wi-Fi and set a password.
Wi-Fi setup
Go to the advanced settings page on the Wi-Fi page. There you will find the item "Basic settings". Fill in the fields there:
SSID - here you need to specify the networks in numbers and in Latin. It will be visible when connected.
Other items can be left alone. Click "Change"
- Network Authentication - WPA2-PSK
- The encryption key is the Wi-Fi password.
Click "Change"
Everything! Your DIR 300 router is now fully configured.
To connect the D-Link DIR 300 router to the Beeline network, it is not necessary to call the masters. It's easy to set up. Telecom operators provide all the possibilities for this. No need to enter IP addresses, subnet masks, DNS if there is a firmware from the provider. And there will be no problems with the factory Firmware.
How to set up a D-Link DIR 300 Beeline router
The new modem that you purchased in the store can be connected immediately. But if you have used the device before, it is better to reset the parameters.
Connection
To set up your modem, it's best to connect it directly to your computer. Then you can use Wi-Fi if you need it.
If you want to connect a modem via a switch or switch:
- Plug the internet cable into the switch port.
- Using the exact same wire (WAN), connect the switch to the Internet connector of the modem.
Initial setup
If this is your first time setting up a modem, check to see if the system "sees" the new hardware.
- Go to the "Network Control Center".
- There must be a D-Link DIR 300 network. Even if you have no connection with Beeline.
It's different with Wi-Fi:
- Click on the network menu on the taskbar. Or in the same "Control Center" click on "Connect to ...".
- The current and available connections will pop up.
- Select a network.
- Connect button.
- Enter your Wi-Fi password.
Now you need to configure IP and DNS:
Firmware
First, find out what kind of router you have. It has several models (for example, B5, B7, A1). And each has its own firmware. You can see the version in the documentation for the device. And it is also indicated on its body - look for a sticker with serial numbers on it. "H / W ver" - product model, "F / W ver" - software version.
The manufacturer's software is available at d-link.ru.
- Visit their website.
- Go to "Quick Search" and open the DIR 300 in it.
- Or look for the device in the "Products and Solutions" section, the "Routers" subsection.
- There are specifications and images on the product page. You need the Downloads tab.
- At the top is the newest firmware. Below are the previous versions. There are descriptions of features and improvements that are added with each update.
- And you can also download the installation and configuration guides there.
If you have not found the software that is suitable for the modem, go to the D-link FTP server - ftp.dlink.ru.
- Open the Pub folder in it.
- Then Router.
- Find your router model - DIR 300.
- Firmware directory.
- Choose software. The installer files have the .bin extension. The main thing is that the version of the program is higher than the one installed and fits the model.
- You can go to the Old folder. There are previous options for utilities.
If you purchased a modem in official Beeline stores, most likely it has a firmware from the operator. Putting another one is not so easy. Resetting the configuration does not "return" the factory software. To change the Firmware, it is better to contact the service center.
Installing the firmware
To change the factory firmware:
Change of software from the operator
It will not work to reflash the router from Beeline in this way. Firmware from the manufacturer is in .bin format. And the device purchased from the operator "reads" only .fwz. To change the software, it is better to take the router to a service center.
IMPORTANT. You can also deliver the original program from the manufacturer at home. But this is dangerous for the device. If this is your first time connecting a modem, don't risk it.
The first way is to completely remove the firmware.
- "Network Control Center" - "Adapter Settings".
- Open the "Properties" of the connection on which the router is running.
- Next - "Properties" of the "TCP / IPv4" protocol.
- Assign a temporary IP to the computer. To do this, select "Use the following address" and enter, for example, "192.168.0.11". When removing the Firmware, the IP of the modem may change. If it and the network card have the same address, it will not work to open the web interface.
- Unplug the router from the mains.
- Hold the Reset button (insert the rod into it).
- Without releasing it, reconnect the modem.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Release the button.
- Try to go to the modem interface. Only not at the address "192.168.1.1", as on beeline routers, but at "192.168.0.1".
- Only the button to download the new firmware will be available.
- After installation, you can set the automatic IP acquisition again.
The second method is "intermediate" Firmware.
IMPORTANT. Both methods can render the modem unusable. Downloading firmware that is not intended for the modem, or completely removing it, is a risky undertaking.
Web interface and final configuration.
To set up a connection, you need some data that your telecom operator will provide you.
Factory firmware
Provider firmware
Setting up a Beeline modem is much easier:
- Go to the web interface - "192.168.1.1".
- Enter login and password.
- Come up with a name and passcode for your Wi-Fi network.
- Specify which LAN port you will connect the TV-box to.
- You can also put a password on the modem itself.
- Click "Save".
- Wait for the device to restart.
In the factory Firmware, the Wi-FI and IP-TV options work the same way. But they are on different menus. The D-Link DIR 300 router from Beeline can be set up very quickly. All parameters are set there in advance. You just need to enter your username and password. But if you decide to change your provider, it will be difficult to reflash such a router.
