D-Link DI-624M Router (DI624MRE) - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

open a browser from a computer that is connected to the router (preferably wired) and in the address bar, enter http://192.168.0.1
the login is admin and the password is blank.
click WIRELESS on the left
you will then be on the wireless setup screen.
Enable the type of security you want, and the key or passphrase.
For instance, if you want something easy to remember, set the security to WEP and use your 10 digit phone number as the WEP key.
Change the SSID to something other than dlink while you're there.

That's all there is to it. Apply the changes and you're done!

Is it the only PC on your network that couldn't go online? If it is, then the drivers for the PCs network card may not be installed properly. Go to device manager to check if drivers were properly installed (Right-click My Computer-Properties-Hardware-Device Manager-Network Adapters).

If you cannot get a copy if the installation CD, then the D-Link wireless router can be configured manually.
Connect a LAN cable from the D-Link to the LAN port on your computer - open a browser and enter the D-Link's configuration URL.

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 unable to access with above ip then press RESET button for 10 seconds then all settings defaults then you can access it. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

The reason you have no internet is because the router is specifically for cable. your description contains errors what i think you mean is that you have gone from cable dsl to an adsl, correct me if i am wrong. Basically your modem connected to your router via an ethernet cable and then the router fed the wireless signal to your wireless devices or via ethernet through the 4 ports in the back. With adsl you have a feed from your phone line to an adsl modem so the only way for you to get the dsl router working is to have two ethernet leads connecting to your pc, one from the modem to the pc and one from the pc to the router. You would also need to setup internet sharing on the pc thats connected to both devices.


Either do it that way or buy an adsl router

First try the default it should be some

user : admin
pass : BLANK

if this doesn't work.

Check on the back or the side of it you will have a small pin size reset button that you can push wiht a pencil hold it for 20 seconds and then let go. It should be resetted.

Yes, it works perfect. but next time but a better brand, d-link routers aren't reliable.

Regards.

Are you trying to set up the router.
You can do it manually without the CD.
Make sure that your computer is able to go online through the modem.
If your computer is not able to go online through the modem then you will need to call ISP first.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem
then you need to connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the settings of the router according to the ISP.

Hi do you mean log in to change routers settings or connect to the network which is broadcast by router. If you mean first log in to router settings etc. If your old password don't work you should find a reset button somewhere on router if you press it it will take router to default settings and you can use default user name and password to log in. If you mean connecting to the network you should go to the settings of your router connect to the router by network cable and put 198.162.1.1 in your internet browser put your username and password (which you can find in manual or on internet (just google "D-Link DI-624M Router default username password) and check what password is and change if you like. You should find it in wireless----> security settings. Good luck and please don't forget to let me know if that was any helpful.

Go to start>control panel> internet options> security tab, click default setting or something, you should have the 401 unauthorized gone by then

There should be a reset button on the back of the device that will allow you to reset it to "Factory Default".

You will have to reconfigure the router for security once this is done.

If the router does not reset to factory, then I would replace the router all together. I had to do that for a client this morning.

Good luck

Well you need to log into the router and set it up.First of all if you are using dsl you will need to set it up for dsl.If its cable you need to set it up for cable.Go to the website and follow the set up instructions.
good luck

- Try to power cycle the Motorola modem and the router for 5 minutes.
- After 5, turn On first the modem, make sure all the lights of the modem are stable before plug in the router.
- If this procedure doesn't work then I suggest that you might need to update the firmware of your router.

On one of the computer that has connection to the router, type 192.168.0.1 in the browser's address bar. The router's config page will come up. Since you're going to be using this page a lot, you might want to bookmark the page for easy access.

On the config page, select "HOME" tab and then select "WIRELESS" on the left column. Find Authentication: WPA-PSK and select that. Provide a "passphrase" and make sure you confirm it. It can be any phrase you want to use. Check apply and you're done setting up the router.

Now you have to setup your computer's to match exactly the same authentication. you should see all the available network. Select default network and then click on configure. In the authentication pull down menu list, select WPA-PSK, then select "authentication config". When the advanced security settings comes up, in the WPA PASSPHRASE field, type the PASSPHRASE you used earlier in the router's config. Hit OK and that's it for that page.

Now go back to the utility page and find profile in the middle column. you should see a "default" profile. Select that and click on "connect" on the right column. If you see a circle on the small icon just to the left of default, then you've secured your computer.

Basically, whatever you do to the router's config, you have to do exactly the same to the NIC's utility page. If it fails and you have to restore default on the router, there's a small hole in the back of the router. Press a small pin into it for 10 seconds and it will restore the default setting, that is, no security of any kind.


Please rate this a fixya.

please call dlink tech support at 877-453-5465. just an advise on how to handle the call when you reach dlink tech support (agent); do not agree to call back after you troubleshoot with them (they'll be giving you a case id reference# and be advising you to check your pc or call "who" and call them back to continue the troubleshooting). insist to the agent that he need to resolve the problem asap (by the way, agents are not allowed to drop the call or they'll be dead-history!). and if the agent still insisted you to call back, ask for a "senior level technician" to finish the job (escalate the problem).
fyi: dlink tech support handling time to resolve a call is 15 to 18 minutes only. if you reach that 15-18 minutes (max) time the agent will think of a way for you to call back (advising you to check with your pc manufacturer, check with your ISP, call microsoft to update your software, etc... non-sense!) they need to do this in order to reach their handling time (agents need to reach 21 to 25 billable calls, and billable calls are "solution provided", "resolved", and "dropped call"). ---- believe me, i was one of them and repented.

looks like a firmware corruption. try running a firmware update from http://support.dlink.com/products/revision.asp

You don't need the CD no. What you need to do, is reset the router if the old wireless authentication key is still activated. To do this, locate the little hole at the back of the router, and use a pen to press it in for approx 30 seconds. This will reset the router to it's default values, and allow you to configure the authentication and such yourself.

169 is an internal IP. If you are not already, try a hard wired connection to the router. If this fails, you will need to get in touch with D-link.

Looks like the file that gets downloaded has a .bix extension.
Try changing the extension to .bin
Then try the update
I think I had to do that when it first came out.
