Welcome to the System Admin training tutorials by CoreNetworkZ EdTech Solutions. Today, I will show a practical experience by configuring a D-Link WBR-2310 WiFi router.
A Brief Introduction
Kevin Thomas, an RHCE student at CoreNetworkZ EdTech Solutions, asked about this device in the first class. He may not be familiar with this device because it is a legacy product.
To begin this tutorial, I believe it is prudent to share some key facts about the device.
WBR-2310 was a popular wireless router from D-Link.
It is an IEEE 802.11g router equipped with range booster technology.
Janani Divakar, a 3rd year B.Tech Computer Science student from Chennai, inquired about the operation modes of the WBR router series in the student support section.
It supports data transfer speeds of up to 108 Mbps and operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Additional features include support for DHCP, NAT, etc.
What Will You Learn From This Tutorial?
CoreNetworkZ EdTech Solutions publishes tutorials designed to support our students’ learning. Let me outline the key takeaways a student will gain from this guide.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to configuring the device, including WiFi security settings.
The first section explains how to set up the WBR-2310 using the auto-configuration utility, while the second section details how to configure the D-Link wireless network with the latest security protocols.
Steps to set up the D-Link WBR-2310 Wireless router
Let me start the first section of this tutorial. As I explained, you will learn the steps to configure the WBR 2310 router.
Connect WBR-2310 to your computer
Your computer should be connected to the LAN port of WBR-2310 using an Ethernet cable. Power on the device after connecting it to your PC.
Log on
To log in to the WBR-2310 wireless router, type the default IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address of the D-Link WBR-2310 router is 192.168.0.1
Before logging on to the router, it will ask you for the username and password. For a factory-new D-Link router, enter the following details.
Username: admin
Password: {Leave this field blank}
Aswathi Kurup, a regular reader of CoreNetworkZ EdTech Solutions, commented on why I mentioned to leave the password field blank. The answer is simple.
There is no default password.
There is no default password for the WBR series. The same rule applies to WBR 1310 and WBR 1430.
Select Configuration Method
You will reach the settings page. Here you will see two different ways to configure WBR2310.
They are the Setup Wizard and Manual Configuration. Here, I will press the Setup Wizard button.
Click on Launch Internet Connection Setup Wizard
To configure the Internet connection on this D-Link router, click on the 'Launch Internet Connection Setup Wizard' button.
Now the wizard will display the steps. Click Next to continue.
The setup wizard will prompt you to create a new password for your WBR-2310 Wireless Router. After entering the password, click the Next button.
You can use the same window to change or assign a new password for the D-Link WBR router series, including WBR 1310 and WBR 1430.
Proceed through the steps and complete the Wizard to finalize the configuration of the WBR-2310.
