The first thing you should do upon completing a wireless connection with a D-Link router is to set up wireless security by accessing the router settings. This protects you against computer hackers trying to gain access to your bandwidth to commit fraud against you or others. It also restricts access away from those who live around you that would rather use your bandwidth instead of paying for their own. Unauthorized users can drastically slow your network speed.

1.Enter the IP address for the D-Link router into a web browser. The default address is 192.168.0.1. This address is typically located underneath the router. Load the page to access the login details.

2.Enter the login details. Refer to your records if necessary. The user name is usually "admin." Enter in your password. A blank password is the default. Load the page to access the router settings. Note: It's important to set a password, if you haven't already done so.

3.Click on the "Set Up" hyperlink and then click on the "Wireless Settings" hyperlink.

4.Scroll down until you see "Wireless Security Mode" and select your desired level of security from the drop-down. The type of security you select depends on the electronic equipment you want to connect to your network and the level of security you want to enable. See Resources for details on the different types of security available. If you are still unsure, WEP offers a decent level of security and works with almost all Wi-Fi enabled components like mobile phones, gaming equipment and laptops.

5.Enter in your desired password into the "Password" field and then enter in the password a second time in the "Re-Enter Password" field. Select "Save Setting" to enable wireless security on your D-Link Router.

check your DCHP connection on your router, you must enable it in-order to relay the signal from your router to your laptop.

Yes, this product is compatible with Windows 7.

Hello there,

There is no way to get the forgotten password but to reset it. But by doing this, everything will go into factory defaults.

To do this, you have to check the reset button at the back of the router, Press and hold that button for 10 to 20 seconds. Wait for it power on fully and then access the router page using the default admin and password.

Good luck.

Press RESET button for 10 seconds it in in the back side of router then all settings defaults. Then connect router to computer with lan cable then you can access it with default ip address. http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or blank ir "password" then you can access the configuration page of router. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa,

Your network name and default password is listed on the bottom of your router. The password is listed as a WEP code or a P/N number. If you are unable to locate it, go to D-link's website on the internet and ask customer service for assistance in chat resources. They are available for free all day today.

The default IP for the DIR-300 is 192.168.0.1. First, make sure you're entering "http://192.168.0.1" in your browser's address bar. In some browsers, if you try entering just the numbers, it won't work.

If you can't access the setup page at all, that address may have been changed. If this is the case, or you can't log in because you don't remember the username and password, you should reset the router which will restore the factory defaults.Press the recessed rear-panel reset button and hold it in for 10 seconds. Release it and the router will restart. The defualt IP (192.168.0.1) and username and password (both admin) will be restored.

Default from factory would be:

User name: admin

Password: password

If this does not work, someone has set up a new password on the system. You will need to reset the router by pushing in the reset button on the back of the router. This will reset the router back to factory defaults (i.e. no encryption on the wireless, default password, ect). so you will need to set these items back up.
