D-link wireless router


posted by hannahjewkes on Mar 11, 2008


I have a D-link wireless router which is currently working ok, but no security password or code has been put in place so my neighbours can access it!
This was because the set-up cd wouldn't work. I found a forum where others had found the same problem with connecting this router to Virgin broadband. Their solution was to forget the cd and simply reset the router. This worked, but it meant I wasn't able to add the security as part of the set-up. Suggestions would be most welcome!

Thanks for this solution, but I'm haven't been able to fix this. When I put in the ip for the configuration page I get a username and password box, but I haven't a clue what these are. I've tried using details that have been associated with the router before, but they don't work, so I'm not sure what to do now...

You can forget about the cd. You can access the configuration page of your router. Open your DOS PROMPT, type ipconfig then click enter. You will see there ip address and default gateway. The default gateway is in this form(192.168.x.x).Example:192.168.0.1

If you already know the default gateway, open your browser and type the 192.168.0.1 on the address field, it will take you to the router configuration page. You can then set your wireless security.

Good Day

There are plenty of default settings you can try. Generally the default username and password is included with your device on a pamphlet or manual or something similar.

try these

Username: either Admin or Administrator

Password: either blank, password, admin, administrator, changeme, default, or test.

Hope this helps.
