Thanks. but the problem is when I select WPA to prevent others from connecting, I don`t have Cypher Type. instead I have encryption which I select AES. then I don`t have any option for PSK /EAP. then it doesn`t ask me for Passphrase. instead, it asks me about “802.1X Settings” which contains questions about “RADIUS Server IP”, “RADIUS port” and “RADIUS Shared Key”.
I don`t know what`s wrong with my router. but it seems that something is not in its right place. please help me.
Have you tried resetting the router? Something in the router may have been changed, preventing you from selecting PSK.
Thank you for taking the time out to go through these steps! I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to asap.
I’ve got the DI-524 all secure and ready to go, however it still doesn’t show up on my laptop when I try to find it. I think I need to change the channel but I don’t know what channel to change it to. Your help is much appreciated in advance. Thanks!
Your article, and the one on resetting the router wonderfully helpful. However I have tried your instructions to secure the router soooo many times…. I can get the router to show up on the list of wireless connections and can then connect with it BUT I cannot seem to get into crypto or secured mode. (I thought I had it once but was so concused by it all that I wasn’t sure). ANY help greatly appreciated.
hello,
I have many problems with my dlink di524, sometimes i just can’t connect but i always have e very good signal. When I reset dlink it’s fixed. It happens once a month for a few times and then it’s once in two weeks.
When it was daily I went back to my shop and said something was wrong with the dlink. They tried it but they had no probs.
I took it home and it worked for a month until te probs started again. Try to explain that to a shopmember
Do any of you have such probs?
grtzzz
Once in a while I do lose my Internet connection, although I can still connect to the router. When that happens I usually unplug the router and reset the cable modem. Once the modem is back online, I then power up the router.
When you mention you can’t connect – does this mean you can’t connect to the Internet, or to the router itself? If it is the Internet, it may want to contact your ISP. If it is the router, it could be a hardware issue, even though the shop couldn’t find a problem. If your router is several years old, you may want to then look into getting a new one.
Can’t set WPA-PSK on DI-524 D-Link Router?

Thanks for the link.
I’m trying to get into http://192.186.0.1 and it’s asking me for my name and password.
Nothing is working…….How can I have this reset?? I am trying to secure my router.
Were you connecting with 192.168.0.1 or 192.186.0.1? You need to connect to 192.168.0.1.
I have a dlink di-524. I don’t have problems with the wireless connection to the internet. It’s just when I play a streaming videos online from a website that opens in windows media player (WMP). WMP just opens for about 5 to 6 seconds and exits out. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
I cant even connect to the router. i have an ethernet cord connecting me directly to the dlink but when i type http://192.168.0.1. in the brower it can not display the webpage. Am i doing something wrong? which point am i meant to connet it to? i currently have it in the 1st point “WAN”
You can’t use the WAN network link to access the browser config page; it only shows up when you connect to one of the four internal network ports. This is because a) the address of the WAN port is received from the WAN uplink and normally will be different than 192.168.0.1, and b) WAN port doesn’t run the configuration page because it would potentially allow everyone on the internet to reconfigure your router.
I too am unable to access http://192.168.0.1, I have ADSL modem (yep i know…….. OLD) I have linked my modem and router as per manual, yet I am still unable to connect to the desired config page. My wireless is working, however it is unsecured. HELP…..
Hi. I’ve been trying to get my nintendo ds into our little wireless circle consisting entirely of our two destop computers. The thing is, the router’s locked, nobody knows the pass, but the computers are running fine. (we got them wireless when we knew the pass) Now, if I reset the router, [di-524], could I simply add my ds’s ip address to the list from instruction #7?
You should ensure that your router assigns at least three IP addresses. Once for each of your two desktops, and one for you DS as shown in the example in step 7.
