To create local networks, specialists use modems, network hubs or routers, which are important to be able to correctly configure for stable and fast work at a computer. Today, the most significant and demanded manufacturer of network equipment is the D-Link company, which has established itself in the market for the construction and maintenance of all kinds of local networks.

Step 2
Unpack the device and all accessories. Read the attached instructions. Connect power to the equipment.
Step 3
Connect the internet connection cable to the WAN input. Be careful and check with the provider in advance by what means the Internet access is provided. If you are using the provision of DSL Internet services, it is important to purchase a modem with DSL input in advance.
Step 4
Connect the network cable that comes with the device to one of the four available LAN ports. Connect the other end of the cable to the network card of your computer or laptop.

For the D-Link Dir-300 model, which is recommended to be purchased for home, this address will be as follows: 192.168.0.1. After entering the information in a separate window, the equipment settings menu will open.
Step 7
Select "Network Settings" from the menu. Go to the choice of the data transfer protocol. Enter your username and password and follow all subsequent steps to connect to the provider's server. All the necessary data can be found in the contract that was concluded in advance with the Internet service provider.
Step 8
Go to wireless setup. Open the Wi-Fi Setup menu. Set the SSID (name) for your wireless access point.
Enter the password that will be required to access this very specified point. Select the necessary parameters from the proposed ones that your wireless devices connected to the D-Link router can work with. Save all changes.
