How do I switch from 2.4GHz to 5GHz on a D-Link DIR-628 router?

SOURCE: forgot admin password for D-Link DIR-628

There is a "reset" button on teh back of the router. Use a paperclip, pencil, pen, etc. to depress the reset button for about a count of ten (this should reboot the router) then release. Your router will be reset to factory standards, including a blank password. Any changes you had previously made to your settings will be lost.

You can do a port forwarding first, remember, to configure router you have to log in as an administrator.

Type in this in your browser's address bar.
http://192.168.0.1
Log in.

These are the ports
Steamclient1: 27000 - 27020
Steamclient2: 27020 - 27050
SteamServ: 27015

Do like this(at your own risk-port forwarding may be vulnerable)

This will allow you to open a single port or a range of ports.
Port Forwarding
Enter a name for the rule or select an application from the drop-down menu. Select an application and click << to populate the fields.
Enter the IP address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. If your computer is receiving an IP address automatically from the router (DHCP), you computer will be listed in the “Computer Name” drop-down menu. Select your computer and click <<.
Enter the TCP and/or UDP port or ports that you want to open. You can enter a single port or a range of ports. Seperate ports with a common.
Example: 24,1009,3000-4000
Select Allow All (most common) or a created Inbound filter. You may create your own inbound filters in the Advanced > Inbound Filter page.
The schedule of time when the Virtual Server Rule will be enabled. The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. You can create your own times in the Tools > Schedules section.

You can also add application rules

Name: Enter a name for the rule. You may select a pre-defined application from the drop-down menu and click <<.
This is the port used to trigger the application. It can be either a single port or a range of ports.
Select the protocol of the trigger port (TCP, UDP, or Both).
This is the port number on the Internet side that will be used to access the application. You may define a single port or a range of ports. You can use a comma to add multiple ports or port ranges.
Select the protocol of the firewall port (TCP, UDP, or Both).
The schedule of time when the Application Rule will be enabled. The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. You can create your own times in the Tools > Schedules section.

Your brother may be filtering your mac address(network card address)
Check from Advanced->MAC address filtering
Turn it off.

You can set a policy also to prevent this.

Here's how

Go to Advanced-> Add policy of your router configuration page.

Do the following

Click the Add Policy button to start the Access Control Wizard.
Click Next to continue with the wizard.
Enter a name for the policy and then click Next to continue.
Select a schedule (I.E. Always) from the drop-down menu and then click Next to continue.
Enter the following information and then click Next to continue.
• Address Type - Select IP address, MAC address, or Other Machines.
• IP Address - Enter the IP address of the computer you want to apply the rule to.

(To find the MAC address
(click Start, then Run, then type cmd in the text box.)
Type in ipconfig/all in the Command Prompt Windows.
The 12-digit Physical Address is the same as MAC address
)

Select the filtering method and then click Next to continue.
Access Control Wizard (continued)
Enter the rule:
Enable - Check to enable the rule.
Name - Enter a name for your rule.
Dest IP Start - Enter the starting IP address.
Dest IP End - Enter the ending IP address.
Protocol - Select the protocol.
Dest Port Start - Enter the starting port number.
Dest Port End - Enter the ending port number.
To enable web logging, click Enable.
Click Save to save the access control rule.

Go to tools-> syslog to create a new user. you can create an admin account here.

You can download the manual of the router from here.

Thanks :) Wish You Luck

SOURCE: how do i add the printer the dlink dir 628 router

The DIR-628 does support a USB printer. You need to download the appropriate shareport version from dlink http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=DIR-628&tab=3.firmware

If the printer drivers are already installed on your PC you should be ready to go.

SOURCE: My D-Link DIR-628 Router won't turn on!!

pls check if your using the correct power adapter, if you use the wrong power adapter, it might not turn on.

SOURCE: D-link dir-628. I can't remember my user password. I need to

the only way I know to go about changing a password after its been established on the admin account is to restore the modem or router to its factory defaults using the reset button usually about the size of a pin on the rear of its case


Hope this helps
