You don't - you reset the router with the button at the rear and you login into it using the default one (admin) and do all the setting again as explained here

is it brand new router? if its used someone may have set other pass.any way try some of the default combinations for user and pasadmin adminadmin 1234admin passwordadmin (no_password)if nothing fits, i can check the factory default user/pass if you give me the exact model, or if someone changed them, you can just reset the settings and config it again.

As far as I know, Windows XP OS works much better with WEP encryption rather than WPA. Changing the security encryption of your router might resolve your issue but I would leave the decision to you if you really want to change it.

Hi You do not say why you want to reset this Router, or give any information about your computer, its Operating System or any problem you might be having with them. If you look at the back of the Router, you should find a Reset Button or a small Recess that can be pushed in with the tip of a pen. Press and hold this button or the Press Plate in the Recess for a few seconds, then release it to Reset the Router to Factory Settings and the factory-set Username and Password (often both are factory-set to "admin"). On some routers, holding the Reset Button/Press Plate for a longer period (15-20 seconds), can allow the User to change the Router's Username and Password. I hope this helps.

For that you need to secure it with WEP password you can set it with below method. Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router. If you are still not able to access router with above ip then you need to RESET it for that press RESET button for 10 seconds it is in back side of router then all settings defaults..Then you can access it with above method. . Then click on wireless->wireless security->WEP security then enter new password then save settings and restart router. then you can connect wireless with new password. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

This question is not clear. Does it mean lost of the SSID Broadcast or Network name in your laptop /portable device or lost of the frequency transmission by the router??

If it is lost of SSID or Network display:
1. Check with your laptop or ipad or phone etc, if the wireless is ON.
2. If it is ON check if the closest or highest frequency wireless is yours SSID name or not.
3. If you have a name or SSID display which is yours, connect to it. It will ask for secured password which you would probably know.

If the frequency transmission is lost from the router:

1. Turn ON and OFF the router and try to reconnect: sometime it works.
2. Check the cable which connect the router and the telephone port: sometime humidity in the room make the cable connecting end rusted, if you notice it change the cable.
3. Worst case you have to reset the router: For this you need another question???

Hope it helps

Try reseting the D-Link back to the default settings then configure it again.
Press and hold the RESET button at the back of the router with the power ON untilthe LEDs flash at the time the release the RESET button.
Connect a LAN cable from the D-Link to your laptop/computer's LAN port, openthe browser on your laptop/computer and enter the D-Link's configuration URL..

The default login = admin
The default PW = blank (just press Enter) You can now change the default password.
You can now configure the wireless settings. Now configure the wireless card in your computer/laptop withthe router's wireless settings.

try rebooting your cable modem by unplugging it then after 15 seconds plug it back in. let it come up, then reboot your router and wait til it comes up. If it still doesn't connect then there may be an issue with the router. I'm guessing the cable modem is OK since you were able to post here. I was going to tell you to hard wire your computer to the cable modem as well.

Hi, IF you want to get the WEP key for the wireless for the new laptop, you need to access the computer that is currently connected to it. then you need to co go command prompt by click on start > type in the start search box > cmd > then command prompt will come up > now you need to type 'ipconfig' and you need to get the numbers for default gateway. Next is you need to open Internet Explorer, then type in the default gateway on the address box. And you will be shown the interface of the router. Just look for the Wireless settings then security and you should be able to get the WEP key you're looking for.
Thank you for using FIxya. Your recommendation is highly appreciated for the free support.

You can download the manual here:

Generally, if you don't know the password and you can't log into the web tools, then you reset it using the button on the back, then configure it again according to the manual

You need to launch web browser and enter "http://192.168.0.1" into the address bar. Then the logon screen will appear, type in the username and password and click ok. Configuration screen will open. On the left, you click on a Wireless option, then Security. Enable the security and save the changes

Im thinking , it might be the settings of your router....or might be the connection -Connect your modem to the WAN/Internet port of your router -Then connect your computer to any of the 4 ports which has 1-4 on it -Make sure both modem and the router are on -open an internet explorer (regardless if theres an internet connection or none) -In the address bar typein 192.168.0.1 -Login window will appear leave the password blank then hit ok -Click on Run wizard -Just click on next and do whatever necessary changes you want there -Usually it was set to dynamic Ip address -then next and click on clone MAC address -You can also set you wireless settings, ssid would be the name of your wireless network -Channel you can select 6 or 11 -Next set your password to WEP enabled -WEP encyption should be 64bit -then you can think of any key that would server as your password, but remember you can use all the numbers but with letters you can only use A-F.. this is not case sensitive -or you have the option not to put any security of your wireless, but this is not recommended -Then lastly restart it. -once its done clikc on the status tab on the upper section of the window -and check if under WAN you have an IP address, if you have, then it means your good to go to check you internet connection if none just simply click on DHCP release then renew til you get IP address..
Hope this will help... (-_-)
Heres the link of your DLINK 524 emulator as guide... http://support.dlink.com/emulators/di524/

All you have to do is connect to the router and change security key/ secure the connection. Just follow the following steps: -
First you have to access the router through web browser (Internet Explorer) by typing the IP address of your router in the address bar, which is 192.168.0.1 (Default router settings are written under the router) (unless you've configured otherwise, the default username is admin and the password "leave it blank") and lookup for the options to do the following: -

Next step is to secure it:
1.On the left-hand side, under Setup, click "Wireless Setup" 2.Under "Wireless Security Mode", select your desired encryption method (preferably WPA2-PSK)
3.Choose a Network Key - it can be anything, as long as it's 8-63 characters in length
4. Click Save Settings.
1. Change the SSID (Name) of the router
2. Change the default administrative user name and password
(The above step would prevent unauthorized access to your router)
Now your router and your connection would become secure and the user has to provide the network key to access the internet.

In case you have forgotten the User Name/ Password of the router, there is no way to recover the lost password However, you can 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.
Please, refer here to download the product guide/manual and make configurations as per the details provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!
