D-link Router DIR-625 resets itself

I had my D-link Router DIR 625 set as a secure router under the name "Ocean". It worked fine for 4 months, then all the sudden my computer stopped connecting to the internet. I found out that the router became "unsecure" and the name has changed to "Dlink". I currently bypass router by connecting to the modem with a cable. Does anyone know what could have happened? Is it possible that someone in the neighborhood hacked into my router? And most importantly, how to set the router as a secure connection again?

    Thank you for your response. I opened http://192.168.0.1 and it looks like this is modem admin page, not router admin page. If this is still the right page, could you please be more specific on where on this page the "wireless security" set up is? I can't find it. Thank you.

How to put password so the neighborhood couldnt access my dlink router

Hi,
All you have to do is connect to the router and change security key/ secure the connection. Just follow the following steps: -
First you have to access the router through web browser (Internet Explorer) by typing the IP address of your router in the address bar, which is 192.168.0.1 (Default router settings are written under the router)
(unless you've configured otherwise, the default username is admin and the password "leave it blank")

Lookup for the options to do the following: -
Next step is to secure it (adding a network security key):
1.On the left-hand side, under Setup, click "Wireless Setup" Click on Setup at the top and then click Launch Wireless Security Setup Wizard. Select your desired encryption method (WEP
)
3.Choose a Network Key - it can be anything, as long as it's 8-63 characters in length
4. Click Save Settings.
Also, do the following changes: -
1. Change the SSID (Name) of the router
2. Change the default administrative user name and password
(The above steps would prevent unauthorized access to your router)

Now your router and your connection would become secure and the user has to provide the network key to access the internet. Please note down the settings such as SSID Key, User Name/Password and Security as in case you loose this information you cannot recover it back)
You may also download and refer to Page 60 onwards of the PRODUCT MANUAL DIR-625 for further information, if required

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

I don't know how to set a password on my d-link router because my internet is insecure. How do i do this? I have the default username and password, but i don't know what to do from there.

1.Open your Internet browser and type in the default IP address for your DIR-625 wireless router: 192.168.0.1. A window will appear asking for your DIR-625 wireless router network name and password. If you do not know your existing network name, enter the default network name, "Admin." Leave the password blank. If you have already set up a network name and password, enter it now. Select "Log In."

How do I find my security key for a D-Link DIR-625 router?

Hello,

You will need to log into the router's web page to view the security settings and access your security key. The default IP address of D-Link routers is normally 192.168.1.1; simply input this IP address into the address bar of your web browser.

You will be brought to a D-Link page and be prompted for your user name and password. If you have not made any changes then the default password should be admin. If you changed the user name and password simply enter them here.

You will need to click on the "setup" tab found at the top of the page. Now you will need to click on "setup wireless" or "Wireless settings" to access the manual configuration. Now you will be able to locate the security key.

If you are unable to locate any of these or you have changed the user name and/or password and no longer remember what they are, you will need to reset the router and set up your wireless network from scratch.

Thanks,

Pat

Hello I have a D-Link DR615 wireless issue. it automatic set to FREE wireless. why?I used to have password and also assigned a name for it. but now the Assigned name is NOT in the wireless network, instead...

Hello,

It seems as though your router was reset to the default settings.
In this case, you need to connect to the "DLINK" network and reconfigure the router.

If you have the disk, you can use that to run the setup, or you can log onto the router itself and configure the settings.

To log onto the router, open a internet window and type in 192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
This will log you into the router.
Now simply select "wireless" and then wireles security and you should be able to set up the password again.

Thanks,

Pat
