Why can't I connect my iMac to my Dlink DIR-615 wireless router?

I can see my wireless network router listed but it won't accept my password. I can connect with Ethernet cable no problem. I just updated my iMac to OS 10.6.8 and my D Link firmware is up to date. My iPhone , 2 iPod Touches and 2 PC laptops have no problem with wireless connection.

That is a older wifi access point and maybe the N is not compatible for your imac. I would get a dual band 2.4/5Mhz wifi Access Point.

SOURCE: internet connection

The only way to replace the network card is to replace the logic board in this unit, however if you are running 10.5, you can purchase an external USB to ethernet adapter at a local Apple retailer and you can hook the computer to the network through that adapter

SOURCE: Cant connect my G5 to the Router to get internet

two things to consider. There are two different types of Ethernet cables out there. Perhaps you have a one way cable for the second one. To test this, unhook the working cable from the mac that gets internet and then hook that one up to the one that doesn't get it. See if it sees the network after a minute. The other issue might be in the Operating System. You might need to make sure that they are both up to date with all of the latest updates installed. (I know, hard to do with out an internet hook up.)
Lastly, make sure you are plugging in the cable to the right place on the back of the router. Seems silly, but some of the best have accidentally put it into a link plug to connect several routers rather than an actual Ethernet plug.

SOURCE: Ethernet speed changes from normal to zero

If you have high speed internet go to your ISP webpage and do a speed test. If You are paying for say like 10 MEGS and are only pulling 1.2 Megs. It probably is your modem. Your speed will slow down to approx 7.5 behind a router. Also Your ethernet cable might need replacing. might also might try resetting your router. disconnect all power even the cable comming in and reset everything. Hope that helps.

SOURCE: I cant connect my wireless network for my PS3 to my iMac router

Assuming this is an apple product, check how many chactors in password, and in the description of the wpa or wap if it says hex or hexadecimal then one common problem is the standard is 13 charactors if yours is less the software fills (and the router assumes) 13 so autofills the rest, differebt manufactrors use different fill in charactors so it seems wrong. My workaround was to add As up to 13 at both ends and it worked.

My DIR-615 Dlink router always has the Orange globe. How am i supposed to fix this, the modem works perfectly fine as i tersted it without the router and internet works. But my wife needs the laptop and...

In the web interface of dir-615 switch it to router mode, adjust wan connection (username, password... depend on your Internet provider, in fact, it is easier to ask their tech support to provide all necessary information) then configure wireless network.

I am trying to connect my ipod touch to wireless dlink dir 615, but I need a password. How do I get the password

When you configure the "wireless" adapter inside the D-Link router, you should set:
* an SSID (a name for your wireless network)
* an encryption-level - hint: use 'WPA'
* a password for your wireless network

Once you've done the configuration, use the SSID/password on your iPod Touch.

Dlink DIR 615, network name changed, won't accept password

It appears your brother has changed your wireless router settings.
You can reset the Dlink back to the default settings by -
Power off the Dlink and press and hold the RESET button on the back of the Dlink and the power on the Dlink. Hold the RESET button for 5 secs. until the LEDs flash at the same time.
Connect a LAN cable from the computer to the Dlink. Open a browser and enter the Dlink's configuration URL
http://192.168.0.1
Default login = admin
PW = blank (just press Enter)
You can now change the admin password and set up a new passphrase (ie encryption)
For details on how to secure your wireless from unauthorized access, please click on this link and follow my instructions :-

If the Wired Connection from the router is still working then login to the routers Interface and recreate the Wireless Network with a SSID name and Wireless Security password(WPA Personal) Recommended as its more sure.

Cant get on the settings page on my DLINK dir-615 router

Turn the router off.
Straighten one end of a Norwegian paper-clip,
and insert it into the small hole in the back of the router,
to "reset" the router to the "factory" settings.

Turn the router on, connect to its built-in web-interface,
and the "default" ID/password should now work.

Change the password.

Rerun the "Wireless Network Setup Wizard",
to recreate your wireless network.

Dlink wireless windows vista

Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the 'LAN' ports on the router and to the network-port on your computer.

Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD and press ENTER
Type IPCONFIG and press ENTER.

You should get output like:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 124.268.336.448
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 123.456.789.0

Start Internet Explorer.

to connect to the web-server "inside" the router.

Run the "wireless network setup wizard" to configure the router
with an SSID and a password.
