Hello,
You have several options. However, I'm unsure if you have lost the username/password to access your D-Link router's setup/configuration page or if you have lost your wireless access code (used to access your wireless internet).

If you have lost your username/password to your routers setup/configuration page first try the factory default combination.

The default username is: admin
The default password leave blank

If you have customized the username and password during the original install you will have to reset the router to its factory default settings. To do this:
PLEASE NOT THAT BY DOING THIS YOUR ROUTER WILL BE RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT AND WILL HAVE TO BE RECONFIGURED
Locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a
paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process.

Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is: admin and leave the password box empty.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
KYTechnology

Try resetting the router. This will reset the password.
Unplug the router, hold the reset button (located on the rear of the device), plug in the router and wait about 60 seconds. Then release the reset button. Now plug directly into the router with an ethernet cable and navigate to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [depends on exact router model] and login. Password is "admin" [no quotes]. Reconfigure the router to your heart's desire. Make sure to change the administration password from the default.
Hope that helps.

Should be a reset button somewhere on it. This will reset everything and you will have to reconfigure it.

Dir-601 D-Link stopping working with my hughes net, how can I get it working again?

Is your Hughes net modem working - check by connecting directly to it using a LAN cable. New check the LAN cable from our modem to the router - try a new cable. Reboot both devices.

Login in using your browser and go to WAN settings and
the wireless settings and set-up a wireless password/key. Remember the key because each device will now need it to connect. You can also turn OFF Broadcast SSID and your network name will not be shown on anyone's device. You must remember the network name when using this method.

When all else fails, The final solution is a factory reset of your router. You can do a factory reset by logging into the router using you browser. Go to the settings and perform a factory reset

If you forgot the router password, you ill have to do a factory reset by locating a small hold on the back of the router and insert the tip of of paper clip for about 10 seconds while the power is on. The router will be reset to out of box status and then you can set-up form scratch.

How can I assign a password to my D-Link DIR 601 Router after it has already been installed without a password? My network is unsecure and I want to secure it.

sure
access the router from internet explorer by typing the default gateway IP address in the address line of the browser: 192.168.0.1 is the default
you should get a login window, username is: admin leave the password blank, and you should gain access to the router web interface.
from there you go to the wireless tab, select enable wireless security, select WPA2 and use a 10 digit code (I use an old phone number I can't forget like 8009993355) save settings and you have a secure router.

Router will now accept my security code to connect my wireless components, using one given to me by tech, how do i find out without paying dlink 40 dollars

  1. Open your D-Link router's control panel by going to the IP address http://192.168.0.1/ in a web browser. You will be prompt for a password. If you did not setup a password on your router, the dlink default password is usually blank. Enter admin for the username and leave the password blank or enter your password.
  2. Click on wireless and under security. There you will see your security key.
  3. If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response.
    Thanks, Joe

Lost my setup cd for my D-Link Dir-601. where can I get the software?

Directly from D-link web site.You can use the wizard, but I have an checklist of must do items....

Wireless Router


It is usually easiest to run the install wizard, but be sure to be ready to set the items listed below.


Things to set:


Note: Routers are intended to be set by geeks. You have to SAVE EVERY page, or the changes will be lost. A geek knows this (apparently). The router gives no protest...just dumps your changes.


1. Login password (RECORD THIS!!). Consider taping to bottom of the router. Physical access is not the security issue.


2. Set a recognizable system ID.


3. Invoke wireless security of at least WEP.

a. Assign your own access code, 10 digit home or cell #. Consider taping to bottom of the router. Physical access is not the security issue.


4. Check that your router is set to broadcast its' presence.
