5. How do I add a new wireless client or PC if I have forgotten my wireless network name (SSID) or wireless encryption key?

• If you have not changed your Wi-Fi settings from the factory defaults, you can use the information from the provided Wi-Fi Configuration card to connect to the router.

Check your USB devices’ power usage specifications and disconnect if necessary.

7. Why won’t the DIR-510L power on when I plug it in?

Remove all USB devices from the DIR-510L and charge it before powering on.
