In an attempt to increase the maximum data transfer rate for wireless technology, manufacturers forgot about supporting older protocols. It does not sound very scary, but what is fraught with in reality? Those people who have equipment produced 7 years ago experience certain difficulties when working with modern routers. This article will describe the router from D-Link - DIR-825. He is able to “cooperate” without any problems both with new technology and with outdated ones. Consider reviews, specifications, recommendations, as well as configuration features - all this will allow you to better familiarize yourself with the operation of this router.

Get to know your device

The company has become famous for quite a long time for its high-quality and rich equipment. The router is packaged tightly with all the features and a summary of the benefits. You can also read information about additional options. Cardboard packaging has a glossy surface.

In the box, the owner will find the router itself, the power supply, cables, antennas, as well as documentation on using the device. The manufacturer also included a large number of advertising brochures in the package. According to users and their reviews, they are all uninteresting. The owners do not note anything extra in the configuration. The only nuance is the length of the patch cord wire - it is only a meter. In order to adjust the DIR-825 and leave it in one place without moving, this will be enough.

Design and assembly

The router received an excellent build quality, which attracts many consumers. In many reviews you can read that for several years of use, the shortcomings were never found. The plastic that was used in the assembly is of high quality and as durable as possible. Panels are assembled and connected flawlessly, ports and interfaces are located correctly without a single slip. The case also has holes that allow you to mount the router on the wall. If there is a desire to put it on a smooth surface, then there is no need to fear that scratches or deformations of another kind will remain. The fact is that the router has rubber feet.

DIR-825 antennas are made in a simple style, they are based on rubber. The buttons are small but easy to press. Built-in large indicators. They are well and clearly visible even in bright light. Each bulb is signed. In the dark, the intensity of the glow can be a little embarrassing, but it's pretty easy to get used to. Those who are annoyed by this cover the router with a sheet of paper. You can read about it in numerous reviews.

Cooling

On the Web, you can find controversial reviews about how the cooling system of the DIR-825 AC G1 device is implemented. Many complain about overheating, which entails freezing. Specialists conducted detailed studies that showed that there are no problems with passive ventilation. The manufacturer made special holes at the bottom of the router, as well as on the side faces. Temperature measurements were taken - the controller heats up no more than 3 degrees above the room temperature.

But experts associate the freezing of DIR-825 with another drawback. It is the result of the operation of the chip, which is responsible for data transmission. An average speed above 150 megabits causes the module to wireless network turns itself off. After 30 seconds, everything returns to normal, but the owners have time to notice problems in the work. This disadvantage is solved by limiting the wireless line.

Wireless connection

Due to the fact that the D-Link DIR-825 router has two controllers, it can easily work simultaneously with a pair of wireless points. The chip that is responsible for this implementation operates at a frequency of 5 GHz. It is capable of providing data speeds up to 800 Mb/s. The built-in chip supports 2.4 GHz frequency. And her maximum speed- 300 Mb/s.

The device works with WPS technology. Thanks to this, the mobile device can easily connect to the network without a password. If necessary, in the settings you can specify which controller is needed to complete this technology. According to reviews, it is implemented with the highest quality, and there are no problems with it.

Multimedia

Unfortunately, many owners are often dissatisfied with the way the Transmission client works. But it should be noted that the described device has a stable version, for which there are no complaints. The client works in automatic mode, perfectly "cooperates" with many media connected to the network device.

The manufacturer mentioned that the D-Link DIR-825 router can also work with HD IPTV. Due to the versatility of the device, you can easily get a huge functionality related to multimedia. In addition, all devices mobile type can easily communicate with each other.

If the owner likes games on the Web, then you will need to familiarize yourself with the port forwarding function - quite often the provider can disable a particular connection. With a strong desire to learn more about this option, you can read some articles on our website or on official resource manufacturer.

Safety

The router is capable of working with the secure IPv6 protocol. However, it functions without failures only in the conditions of a modern network interface. The router can easily connect to any type of network, including virtual ones. Wireless options have their own encryption system. The device received a firewall. It will protect the distributed signal from intruders and scammers.

Certain owners are confused by the presence of a service that filters content. Most likely, the provider's traffic passes through the hosting and only after that it gets to the client. This results in reduced speed. In this case, the owner must clearly understand what is important for him: data transfer or protection.

Results

The product described in this article (D-Link DIR-825) is an interesting device. It needs to be replaced, many owners note that in the proposed price category he has no equal. It provides the client with two wireless access points, a USB-type interface, gigabit ports, a torrent client - what else is needed? The average cost of a router is 4 thousand rubles. The option is really excellent and high quality. Many people recommend buying it.

PPTP connection without encryption

0. This manual is about setting up the next version of the system

1. WAN Connection Setup => Connection List => Add


2. Click the tab "All settings".

Select connection type - PPTP and leave the interface selection at "Automatically"

Name the connection for example "PPTP-VPNKI", enter the username (tunnel) received on the personal page of the site site and password.

Specify VPN server - msk.site, leave the authentication protocol in " Auto", set the Encryption parameter to - " Without encryption"

3. A little lower on the page turn off the NAT function for the tunnel interface. You can leave the firewall enabled. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page.

As a choice, you will be prompted to use the newly created interface as a connection to the Internet or to connect to a virtual private network. You need to specify what connections will be used to connect to the virtual private network.

4. After successful saving VPN connections The router will attempt to establish a connection and as a result you may see the following connection information:

5. After establishing a VPN connection to the VPNKI system, you can proceed to the route settings.

To do this, go to the " Additionally" => "Routing" and click "Add" a new route. You need to add at least one route to the network 172.16.0.0 with a mask of 255.255.0.0 and a gateway of 172.16.0.1 so that you get the result shown in the figure below.

6. You can check the connection by executing the command Ping the address 172.16.0.1

Feature 1

To use a connection with encryption, you need in the connection settings:
- use MS-CHAPv2 authorization and specify what encryption will be used(MPPE)

To connect without encryption, you need:
- use CHAP authorization and specify that encryption will not be used.

Be careful,
all other combinations of authorization and encryption methods will cause the connection to fail!!!

Feature 2

Work PPTP protocol is carried out using the GRE protocol, with which some Internet providers in Russia have technical difficulties. These difficulties will prevent you from using PPTP to build VPN tunnels. These providers include MGTS (Moscow City telephone network), Yota, Megafon. However, this is not the case in all parts of their networks.

For the user, the situation will look like that the verification of the username and password will not pass. More precisely, it will not even reach this moment ... In the menu item "Security Events" you will see the beginning of a successful connection and the last will be a phrase saying that we are ready to check the name and password, but ...

Access granted. No whitelist is set for user. Ready to check username / password.

The absence of a connection and further entries in the log (despite the fact that you are firmly convinced that the login and password are correct) most likely indicates that GRE is not being skipped by your provider. You can google about this.

Our system will work with many types of home and office routers. For more details, see the section on setting up equipment, and it's better to start setting up with this example.

Resetting the router settings is a procedure that returns all router settings to default. In other words, the router returns to its factory settings, which were used when the router was first turned on.

The need to reset the settings does not often arise. This is usually due to incorrect operation of the router or incorrect settings. Also, resetting the settings may be necessary to restore access to the router in cases where the user has forgotten the password.

There are two ways to reset the router settings: software and hardware. The software way to reset the settings is performed using a special function in the web interface of the router (in the router settings), while hard reset performed using a special button on the device. In this article, we will look at both methods of resetting the settings. In this case, the software reset method will be considered using the example of several popular router models.

How to reset the router settings by hardware

A hard reset is the most commonly performed, so we'll cover it first. First you need to find the reset button. In most cases, it is located on the back of the router (next to the ports for connecting cables) and is signed as " RESET". If this button is recessed inside the case, then you need to prepare a paper clip or other thin and long object in order to press it.

Before resetting the router settings by hardware, it is best to study the instructions. It should clearly describe what needs to be done and in what order. But, if the instructions are not at hand, then you can do as described below.

  1. Unplug your router from power, and also disconnect all cables from it (network and USB).
  2. Connect the router to power and wait until it fully boots up. As a rule, this takes several minutes.
  3. Press the RESET button and hold it for about 15 seconds.

After that, the indicators on the router should blink. This means that the reset is complete and the router is booting up. After downloading the router, you can start using it.

How to reset the router settings programmatically

The second way to reset the settings is a soft reset. It is performed through the web interface of the router. To do this, go to the web interface, find the reset function and activate it. Next, we will describe how this is done in the web interface of popular routers.

How to reset settings in D-Link DIR DIR-825

Web interface D-Link routers DIR is most commonly available at the IP address 192.168.0.1. Log in to the web interface at this address using a browser and go to the "Tools" section. After that, you need to go to the "SYSTEM" subsection (link in side menu) and click on the button " Restore Factory Defaults».

How to reset settings in TP-LINK TL-WR940N

To reset settings TP-LINK router TL-WR940N programmatically log in to the web interface (at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). After that, open the settings section " System Tools"And go to the subsection" Factory defaults». Here you need to click on the " Restore".

How to reset settings in Asus RT-N65U

Web interface Asus routers usually available at IP address 192.168.1.1. Open the web interface and go to the "Administration" section (link in the side menu). After that, open the tab " Restore / Save / Upload Setting". Here you need to click on the button " Restore»Opposite the function" Factory default "

Please note that after resetting the settings, you need to log into the web interface using the standard login and password. Usually standard login and the password is indicated on the underside of the router, on the box and in the instructions.
