Let's try to first fully reset your router to factory settings to see if we can get rid of any bad settings that may be causing issues. I borrowed all of the following from the technicallyeasy.net walkthroughs already written about:
"I have a d-link model DI-524 that stopped working - fcb6ce0.gif
To reset your router, use the following steps:

  1. Press the reset button for 10 seconds. You can use a small object, such as a paper clip to hold down the button.
    2. Do not power off the unit while the router is being reset.
    The unit should now reboot, and once the WLAN light stops blinking the router should be reset.
  2. (Added by me) Plug your laptop directly into one of the ethernet ports on the back of the router with a standard CAT5e or CAT6 patch cable
  3. Open up your Web browser and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
  4. For the login, enter admin as the ID and leave the password blank.
The router has now been reset. Follow the steps in Securing D-Link DI-524 Wireless Router to secure your router.

SummaryThis post has provided the instructions you can use to reset your D-Link DI-524 wireless router. If you are having problems with your router, try reseting the router to the factory defaults, and then make the changes again and see if the router starts working."

This could be that the wireless card on the laptop was turned off. If you can tell me what kind of laptop it is I may be able to help you check for this problem.

D-Link DI-524 wireless router stopped working
You could spend $40 to have a qualified technician try to trouble-shoot, or you could spend $40 to buy a brand-new wireless-G replacement router. Your money; your choice.

Dns problems
If you connect the computer directly to the modem, does it work ?
If not then call ISP and make sure that your main computer will be able to go online when it is connected to the modem only ( without the router).
If that is working then you can reset the routerand reconfigure the router manually.

DNS error in D-Link DI-524
If you get the error all the time, goto your network card properties and in the space where you can enter a DNS address, just enter 4.2.2.2 and teh primary DNS and 4.2.2.3 as the secondary DNS. These are universal DNS addresses.
Thanks

Have 2 laptops connected to wireless router DI-524, Mac OSX & PC. The Mac is working fine but I cannot get the pc up. It says it is working but it will not get on internet. I don't think it has the...
Try to go to start -> settings -> network connections -> and see if your connection is working properly if there is a problem it will say it's limited. If limited try right click and repair, if it won't work try right click on connection then properties and in ip/dns section set all on automatic. 

If none of this will work try to disable firewall for few min and see if it works, to do so go to control panel Windows Firewall,

If password would be wrong you wouldn't be able to connect at all, you can always try to go to available wireless networks and try to disconnect your connection and then reconnect again it should prompt for pass.

DI-524 status led not blinking
Here are the instructions

  1. Make sure that you have a copy of the latest firmware and it has an *.exe file with it. Because the router's configuration page won't be available, you'll be needing the exe to some sort of force the firmware upgrade procedure.
  2. Unplug everything attached to your router except the power cable and LAN cable connected to your pc.
  3. Configure your TCP/IP with this info: IP:192.168.123.253, Default mask:255.255.255.0, Default Gateway:192.168.123.254 and DNS Server:192.168.123.254 (Use only 1 DNS server). Save this new configuration and reboot your pc.
  4. Unplug the power cable to your router as the pc reboots. When everything is up and running, plug the power cable. The status led will be flashing like crazy. It's normal.
  5. Use the exe file to upgrade your firmware. Make sure that the utility file (exe file) is able to recognize your router or else you won't be able to do a firmware upgrade. Now this may take a while, keep pressing the Refresh button to recognize your router. Once recognized you would see there 192.168.0.1 crash. Once you have this, you can now press the upgrade button.
  6. Wait for a while until the unit finishes the upgrade and once done, I think you have recovered the life of your router from the pits of hell. Hahahaha.
  7. You can now unplug the power of the router and restart your pc, see if everything is doing fine.
Hope this helps.

DI-524 wireless router as wireless switch
You need to disable the DHCP server on your "slave" wireless router ( the di-524 ). In D-link routers this might be called configuring it to be an "Access point".

When this happens, connecting to the second wireless router should cause your computer to obtain an IP address which is in the range of the first router (that is to say, it will use the first router's dhcp server).

You should be able have your laptop connect with an automatic IP address and have it work.
