Dlink dir 615 Wireless N Router help
Well I bought the Dlinki dir 615 router not too long ago, it's a lil outdated but it was cheap so I figured why not buy it. It comes with a easy install CD, however for some reason I can't get through it. It goes all the way through until it gets to the verifying router settings during step 7 of the process, I always get the Error 302 internal error. Is there something my computer is missing or am I just doing something wrong?

You don't need any software to install a router.


The following procedure should get you a connection with any broadband modem that is configured to use DHCP for the router connection, such as cable modems, and many DSL modems. If you require PPPoE configuration for the DSL modem, that will have to be configured to match the ISP requirements.

Note that the wireless encryption and channel selection will have to be done after the basic wired connection is established, the first step is to get wired connections working.

  • Reset the router to factory defaults by holding the reset button down for 15 seconds with power on.
  • Turn off everything, the modem, router, computer.
  • Connect the modem to the router's WAN/Internet port.
  • Connect the computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.
  • Turn on the modem, wait for a steady connect light.
  • Turn on the router, wait for two minutes.
  • Boot the computer.

When the computer is completely booted, let's see this.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

NOTE: For the items below in red surrounded with < >, see comments below for the actual information content, they are value substitutions from the previous command output!

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address>

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com


Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<dns_servers> - The IP address of the first (or only) address for DNS Servers, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.


If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Here's what I got. Also I managed to get the router intalled, however I don't have a connection with the way they tell you to connect it for some reason. If I connect my modem and computer to the Lan ports I have a connection though I can't access my routers page.

Your "modem" is a modem/router, and it uses the same subnet as the D-Link.

You either need to configure that "modem" in bridge mode, change the subnet of the D-Link, or connect the D-Link as a WAP and not use it's NAT layer.

Well I've been messing around with some of the settings and I have no idea what I'm doing. How exactly would I do the stuff you listed in the post above?

In the web Interface for the DIR-615, select Setup in the top row, and Network Settings in the left hand column.

Change the base address labeled Router IP Address to 192.168.2.1, save the changes, and then restart your computer. The router will now connect using the modem properly.

Alright I think changing the router's IP address might work but when I changed the routers IP it told me the Lan and start IP address can't be on the same subnet. So does that mean I change the subnet from 255.255.255.0 to something else. If so what would you recommend?

What's the exact make/model of the modem? Can you post an IPCONFIG /ALL for the direct modem connection?

My modem is a speedstream 4100 Ethernet ADSL Modem. Here's the ipconfig /all with no manual connection just regular automatic connection.

OK, from a factory reset, that could have given you a connection with the DIR-615 if it was wired correctly. Some of those "modems" are modem/routers, however this one is bridged, so my previous suggestion didn't change anything. This should get you a wired connection if you're using good cables and there's no problem with the router.



The following procedure should get you a connection with any broadband modem that is configured to use DHCP for the router connection, such as cable modems, and many DSL modems. If you require PPPoE configuration for the DSL modem, that will have to be configured to match the ISP requirements.

  • Turn off everything, the modem, router, computer.
  • Connect the modem to the router's WAN/Internet port.
  • Connect the computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.

You never need the install CD to configure a router, it's all available in the web based setup. I've never allowed a setup CD for a router to come anywhere close to a computer, and I've configured a ton of them.

Ok I did the ipconfig /all again and I did it right this time, however when I do the PING yahoo.com part it says it can't find it. I haven't configured the router yet via the routers web page, so I dunno if that has anything to do with it.

If this is after a factory reset as I described, you may have a problem with your system at this point. It seems odd that the ping of 206.190.60.37 behaved the way it did, are you SURE you have a known good cable between the modem and router and from the router to the computer?

Try booting in Safe Mode with Networking and see if that changes things.
