Connect Wi-Fi Router D-Link DIR-320
Rear side D-Link DIR-320 NRU
On the back of the router there are 4 connector for connecting devices over the LAN interface, as well as one connector of the Internet where the provider cable is connected. In our case, it is Beeline. Connecting a 3G modem to the DIR-320 router in this manual is not considered.
So, connect one of the LAN DIR-320JN ports cable with a network card connector of your computer. Do not connect Beeline Cable - do it immediately after the firmware is successfully updated.
After that, we turn on the power of the router. Also, if you are not sure, I recommend checking the settings of the local network connection on your computer used to configure the router. To do this, go to the Network and Shared Access Control Center, the adapter parameters, select the connection over the local network and click on it right mouse button - properties. In the window that appears, see the properties of the IPv4 protocol, in which it should be set: to receive an IP address automatically and connect to DNS servers automatically. In Windows XP, the same can be done in the control panel - network connections. If everything is configured in this way, then we turn to the next stage.
