Ken,

You need to use the same encryption key that you provided when you connect any other wireless device to your wireless network. If you have never set up any device to connect wirelessly, you should do so now. On page 12 & 13 of the manual, you'll find detailed instructions on how to set up and more importantly, secure your wireless network with a 64 or 128 bit WEP key. Once you have logged in and see the screen shown on the bottom of page 12, do NOT click on "Run Wizard". Instead, simply click the "Wireless" button. Make sure you make note of the SSID (or change the SSID) and enter a new WEP encryption key (do not leave the keys unchanged or blank!) before navigating away from this page. If you choose a 64 bit key, you can provide a 10 "string" consisting of digits 0 - 9 and a - f. I like to use a telephone number because they are the correct length and there are plenty I know "in my head" and never forget them. You can pick whatever you like. You might want to write this info on a piece of paper and tape to the router for easy reference later. You should not change any other values in the router's settings or you may not be able to connect to the internet.

If you have previously set up other devices to connect to the router wirelessly, you'll have to update them with the new WEP key and SSID (if you changed it).

Read page 30 of the manual to learn how to change the Username and Password from the default settings.

That's it. I hope this helps & good luck. Please rate my reply. Thank you.

If there is an install CD it is not needed. These devices are managed using your computer's web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox). Everything you need to know about this process is here:

I hope this helps. Good luck!

if you dont know your router's login/pass
you can reset your router to factory settings by holding the reset button for more than 30 seconds.
otherwise you can login to the router by using Internet explorer and going to http://192.168.0.1
the login is admin the pass is admin
you should be able to configure your router now and change the password

As far as I am aware, the only way to reset the pin, is to reset the router to factory defaults. You will then have to reconfigure your wireless settings. To reset to factory defaults:
Plug in the router.
1. Locate the small reset button. It is next to the power jack.
2. Use something to push the button, a paper clip works well.
3.Hold the reset switch down for 10 seconds.
4. Wait for the WLAN light to stop blinking. The router is now reset.
To reconfigure the settings on the router, enter 192.168.0.1 into your browser address bar.

You cant recover your password from it, you need to make a full factory reset and then reconfigure it, Press and hold the reset button on the back of the router for at least 10 secs and see if is back to factory default configuration, if not, then press and hold it while on and wile still pressing unplug the power and while still holding the reset count till 10 and plug power back on, if all this fails try to press and hold the reset for 30 seconds.
After this the router will be totally reset as new then you can sue the default password that came with your documentation of is written on a sticker on the back of the router.
Normally is User: admin password: blank (nothing) or viseversa.

If you can connect to the internet using the Ethernet cable on your laptop then the cable modem is configured correctly.
If you want to connect to the Internet using the D-Link wireless router then first you need to configure the D-Link wireless settings and then configure the wireless card in your laptop with the D-Link's wireless settings. Remove the Ethernet from the laptop and connect it to the WAN/Internet port on the D-Link wireless router.

have you got a new xbox 360 or old xbox 360 as the old version doesnt have wireless built into it

Few thingsFirst reboot the router

• Remove power from the router
• Wait 30 seconds
• Reapply power

Many consumer routers are filled with bugs and tend to randomly lock upNext you will want to log into the router and change your channel

• enter in your web browser 192.168.0.1 - default IP address
• Username: admin
• Password: leave_blank
• Click on the Wireless button
• Change the Channel to 1,6,or 11  - by default routers (here in the states) come on 6...so many people use this, change it to 1 or 11 for better results
• Click apply and reboot router again

These two procedures should solve your problem.  You should also always update to the latest firmware for your device.  New firmware will keep your router running as bug free as possible.Go here:http://www.dlink.com/products/default.aspx?pid=DI-524&tab=3

• and select your model and version
• download the firmware file
• Log back into router with a WIRED connection (not wireless)
• Click on Tools and then Firmware and follow the instruction to upload the file to the router

I hope this helps,Magoo

First, reset your router on the back by inserting a paperclip into the reset button. Then allow your router to reset. Also you may want to reset your modem to get it all on the same page. Next connect the modem and router. Go through the process of changing the network name again, but make sure you use a Wired computer to the router. If you use a wireless connection you will not maintain the connection when you make the change.

When the change has been made, reconnect all wireless devices. You may need to unplug both your modem and router after making the change to get them to communicate properly again.

Link to router information, you need to select your model revision, then you will be able to download your installation guide, firmware updates, etc

Then click the wireless button on the left.


Choose enabled for security, and enabled for SSID broadcast. For security I like WEP because they are most compatible, but there are other protocols you can choose as well. for WEP 128 bit you need a 26 digit key using 0-9 and A-F. Choose a code or use the following app to generate a key from a phrase, etc.
http://www.andrewscompanies.com/tools/wep.asp
make sure you keep a copy of this because you will need it to connect to your router.
Save all your settings and exit.
When you connect to your router after this it will ask you for the password (at least the first time-many computers will remember the password etc. after you enter it the first time) If it says connect automatically then it will remember the password etc. and connect whenever you are within range.

You will just have to reset your router if you forgot it.

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption.

Note: Your network will slow down and wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.

Step 1 Log into the web configuration of the router by opening up a web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).

Click here if you cannot access the web-based configuration.

Step 2 Enter your username (admin) and your password (blank by default). Click OK . Click the Home tab and click the Wireless button on the left hand side of the screen.



Step 3 Select Enable next to the WEP radio buttons. For WEP encryption select 64, 128, or 256-bit encryption. For the Key type select HEX. If you have an option for Authentication type, select Shared Key.

Step 4 Select Key 1. Enter a Hex encryption key that you make up. The length of the encryption key will depend on what you selected under WEP Encryption.

64-bit encryption 10 characters

128-bit encryption 26 characters

256-bit encryption 58 characters (available on DI-614+ only)

The encryption key is HEX, meaning 0-9 and A-F are valid characters. For example, A4583DFF1A (64-bit HEX key).

Step 5 Click on the Apply button then click on the Continue button to save your settings.

A PDF copy of your manual can be found here,,,

http://files.dlink.com.au/products/DI-524/Manuals/DI-524_G2_Manual_3.00.pdf

You want to go to page 26/97 (based on PDF above)

Here you can enter the "domain name" of the site you want to block.

example:

Click "Allow users to access all domains except Blocked Domains".

If you wanted to block "www.xyzzy.com" you would enter "www.xyzzy.com" into the "Blocked Domains" box, then hit "Apply". You enter whatever site you want blocked, no "http://", just the actual name, again, as example, www.xyzzy.com.

You may need to reboot your router after you are finished.

Maybe you have an open WiFi (no password wireless) and anyboby near can connect to your router and download files, this can slow down your Internet connection. To put a password to your wireless network, enter setup preferably by a wired connection to router, in your browser type the default IP address of it (http://192.168.0.1), the user is admin and its password must be left blank (default settings), at the Home tab go directly to Wireless option since you'll only change your WiFi from unsecure to secure, there you can choose the security type, WPA is recommended, after select it you can put the new Key (password) of your WiFi, and finally apply to get changes working, just remember that after this procedure, you'll have to enter the password in each new wireless connection to your router.
