Di-514 does not reset

According to the manual (http://www.dlink.com/products/default.aspx?pid=DI-514&tab=3) leave the password field blank and use the username: "admin" without the quotes.

This is the default username and password. Of course, change the password once you log in (since it has no password).

However, if this password doesn't work because it has been changed already, you can reset the router back to the default settings and password. Here's the details from the manual:


To hard-reset the D-Link Plus DI-514 to Factory Default Settings, please do
the following:
• Leave the device powered on, do not disconnect the power
• Press the reset button and hold (use a paper clip)
• Keep the button pressed about 10 seconds
• Release the button
The DI-514 will then automatically reboot itself.

The Router should erquire no setup, unless you are trying to configure a password or name your wireless network. I would start by unplugging the router, pressing in the reset button located on the back or bottom of the router and holding it in at the same time that you plug the router in. Then let go of the reset button. This should have reset the router. Now make sure that the network cable coming from your modem is going into the port on the back of the router labeled WAN or Internet. Next, unplug your modem and wait about 15 seconds, then plug back in. At this point, you should be able to get online with any wireless device. Once you can get online, you can go through and configure the router with whatever name and password you want.

Confirm what is the router status, does it show an active IP address that it received from DSL/Cable modem?

The router may need to be configured. You may also try to reset the router to factory defaults and re-configure settings like password, network key etc. First, to reset the router to factory default setting, press the reset button at the back of the router.


Please note that after RESETTING THE ROUTER to defaults, ALL SETTINGS WILL BE LOST AND YOU HAVE TO RECONFIGURE IT. Generally, after hard reset you get the connectivity, however, you have to make the connection secure etc.

All you need is the User Manual for D-Link DI 514

Good Luck!

May i follow up

assuming your pc has previously connected to the router, why did you require a reset. Remove your RJ45 cable and try reset button for 10 secs then let go. The other problem I see is you cannot connect through both wireless and wired to one IP address, you say the wireless lan light flickers and then say it knows you have removed cable, are you trying to connect via two different computers or just one. Please reply on this post and not a new one; it's hard to follow.
