Dlink DIR 615, network name changed, won't accept password

I've been using the Dlink DIR 615 for a year or so, it's been absolutely fine until my brother connected his laptop to my home network. Somehow the name of the network changed to Tony PC Network (my brother's name) and now when I try to access the network it will not accept the passphrase or router PIN.

Can anyone help?

It appears your brother has changed your wireless router settings.
You can reset the Dlink back to the default settings by -
Power off the Dlink and press and hold the RESET button on the back of the Dlink and the power on the Dlink. Hold the RESET button for 5 secs. until the LEDs flash at the same time.
Connect a LAN cable from the computer to the Dlink. Open a browser and enter the Dlink's configuration URL
http://192.168.0.1
Default login = admin
PW = blank (just press Enter)
You can now change the admin password and set up a new passphrase (ie encryption)

Sir i lost my wireless network name and wireless network password

Hello Leonard,

You can just reset your wireless router to restore factory settings. If you reset it, your network name will be back to DLINK and you won't need any password. To reset it, look for the reset button usually found at the back of routers. It is a small button inside a small hole, so you will need a pin to press and hold it for about 10 seconds.

Thanks for using Fixya!

I am trying to connect my ipod touch to wireless dlink dir 615, but I need a password. How do I get the password

When you configure the "wireless" adapter inside the D-Link router, you should set:
* an SSID (a name for your wireless network)
* an encryption-level - hint: use 'WPA'
* a password for your wireless network

Once you've done the configuration, use the SSID/password on your iPod Touch.

If the Wired Connection from the router is still working then login to the routers Interface and recreate the Wireless Network with a SSID name and Wireless Security password(WPA Personal) Recommended as its more sure.

Cant get on the settings page on my DLINK dir-615 router

Turn the router off.
Straighten one end of a Norwegian paper-clip,
and insert it into the small hole in the back of the router,
to "reset" the router to the "factory" settings.

Turn the router on, connect to its built-in web-interface,
and the "default" ID/password should now work.

Change the password.

Rerun the "Wireless Network Setup Wizard",
to recreate your wireless network.

How do i secure my dir-615 router

1. Log into the router by typing 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of your browser.
2. User admin for the username and leave the password blank (unless you have changed the username and password, if so use your custom settings)
3. Next run the security security wizard: Click Setup at the top then click Launch Wireless Security Setup Wizard.
4. It will take you step by step to set up a secure wireless network.

I would also suggest you change the router password while your in there to prevent others from accessing your router using the default setting if you have not already changed it.

You can download the user manual for the router at:
