On the D-Link DSL 2640U modems setup WiFi nothingespecially difficult does not represent, even if the user does not have a special disk, which must be supplied in the kit. But if you set the correct parameters, you need to remember some nuances, which will be discussed further.
The very first thing in the future setup is to connect and initialize the device in the computer system.
Note:if the device was purchased by the company “Rostelecom”, whose services are supposed to be used in the future, a special optical medium (CD-disk) is attached to the device, which contains the device drivers and the “Equipment Setup Wizard”. If the device was bought separately, all the same, there should be a disk with the accompanying software, but without the “Wizard”. This, of course, is not the worst option, since, as it turns out, it is not difficult to make a manual connection. To do this, follow the instructions below (you can use this instruction for any compatible device).
For modem / router D-Link DSL 2640U settingWiFi should start with a connection. The very first condition - the presence of a telephone line (the benefit is not a problem). The second condition is the installation of a splitter, or the so-called splitter. In this case, we are talking about the fact that when you access the Internet, the telephone line is not blocked.
На самом сплиттере есть два гнезда для Connect the appropriate RJ-45 cables. In principle, it is difficult to confuse something, because they are labeled connections, although they look exactly the same.
When the electrical circuit is sequentialthe connections “computer device> modem> splitter> telephone network” will be fully assembled and work, setting up a DSL 2640U WiFi router will be reduced to determining the device in the operating system and setting the correct parameters.
Drivers, in theory, you can installdirectly from the disk that came with the device upon purchase. If it is not there (was damaged or lost), you need to download the software either on the provider's website or on the resource of the manufacturer of this equipment.
Now you need to log inrouter management. To do this, you can use any Internet browser, in the address bar of which it is tedious to prescribe the combination 192.168.1.1 (standard procedure for all devices of this type). Login and password lines indicate admin.
Next you need to go to the Internet settings on the tab of the same name.
If the user who uses the services of the Rostelecom provider has a special disk that was purchased with the modem, the configuration issue is solved quite simply.
Just insert the media into the drive, afterwhich will be followed by the launch of the “Equipment Configuration Wizard” developed by Rostelcom. As is already clear, all parameters and options for the connected device will be set automatically.
But let's say there is no disk, download drivers from the sitethe developer also failed. What to do in this case? In such a situation, manual tuning will help. Do not worry, nothing complicated in the process of setting the necessary parameters is not expected.
На первом этапе для модема DSL 2640U настройка "Rostelecom" (WiFi) implies setting the type of connection. This parameter should be set to PPPoE. Unlike the Bridge mode (“bridge”), this will allow you to connect to a wireless network even when the main terminal to which the router is connected is turned off.
After that we indicate the values of the parameters PCI andVCI, following the definition of the regions of the user's location, we prescribe the login and password specified in the contract, put a tick on the Keep Alive item and proceed to the LCP parameters.
For intervals, set the value to 35; for failures, set 2. The abbot is recommended to use the IGMP string as an additional setup.
Internet set up.It is time to take care of using the capabilities of the modem in full. As is already clear, it is simultaneously a modem and a router. Thus, it can be used to create a wireless connection via WiFi, which can be used in the presence of any other computer or mobile device.
In the D-Link DSL 2640U router, setting up WiFi whenentering the equipment settings will automatically request a password. This applies only to the device’s web interface itself, and not to the protection of access to the virtual network. Here you can also use another router menu.
Here, setting WiFi DSL 2640U password or login offers to use automatically, but they need to be changed (if you really need).
Now the most basic!When entering the Wireless tab (connecting over wireless networks), select WPAPSK type, select AES in the Encryption data encryption algorithm selection field, enter an arbitrary name of the created connection in the SSID field, specify and confirm the password for accessing the virtual network (Pre-shared Key) - key , if literally, preventing the penetration into the network or on this computer terminal from the outside.
Notice at that moment that sometimespassword entry system may be ineffective. The key will have to come up with a unique one. The fact is that combinations like “one-two-three-four” or QWERTY do not work here. The security system perceives them as unreliable and potentially cracking in the first place. However, on the DSL 2640U modem / router, the WiFi setting can, of course, not set the password on its own, but using user intervention. To do this, just go to the above address in the basic parameters of the device and simply change the combination in the corresponding line. After that, you will need to restart both the computer and the router.
When restarting, you can check the status and network anddevices that provide communication using the Device Manager (devmgmt.msc in the Run console), or simply by going to the Network and Sharing Center, where the connection should be activated.
As a summary of the settingsdevices of the above-mentioned type of recommendations can be especially not given. Practically all the settings for setting the basic parameters and options are standard.
The only thing I would like to drawattention - select the type of connection. Bridge access is better not to use at all. For example, you have a router (modem) connected to a home computer (stationary system unit). As soon as you turn it off, the WiFi connection disappears (this is when using the Bridge scheme). In the case of installing PPPoE, even if the main terminal is disconnected, communication via a router will be all the same.
Naturally, special attention should be paid tocreating and saving passwords, making, for example, a backup copy of the means of the system itself by at least saving the restore point. If you don’t want to use Windows tools, you can use automatic updates like Advanced System Care, Glary Utilities, or even iObit Uninstaller, which is exactly what you’ll use to create a restore point before starting your own operations, if, as they say, something and where something goes wrong. But in general (this is noted in all the reviews on the forums), problems can consist solely in the connection settings, and certainly not in the current Internet connection.
