FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility?
Verify that http://dlinkrouter.local./ has been correctly entered into your Web browser. Make sure that you are connected to the correct Wi-Fi Name/SSID and password printed on the Quick Installation Card. Alternatively, you can use http://dlinkrouterXXXX.local./ where XXXX represents the last 4 characters of the MAC address. The device specific URL and MAC address are both located on the device label attached to the device.
Why can’t I access the Internet?
Ensure that your modem/gateway is powered on. Also ensure that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the router and modem. Verify that the Internet LED is illuminated on your router. If you still cannot access the Internet, power off your modem and router and power them back on, wait until all the LED’s are lit and try again.
What do I do if I forgot my Wi-Fi password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. This process will revert all of your settings back to the factory defaults.
How do I restore the router to its factory default settings?
Locate the reset button on the rear panel of the router. With the router
powered on, use a paper clip to hold the button down for 10 seconds.
Release the button and the router will go through the reset procedure.
