what happens is I type in admin with no password, and it let’s me move on to the open page, then I click on wizard and it takes me to the change password page, I leave the old password empty and type in my new password and once again in the confirm box, then it opens another box that wants my password,
I tried typing admin and leaving the password blank also tried admin with new password, but it still locks me out wheream I going wrong?
Try entering the password under admin in the log in, i think that might create the password for you.
If my router is plugged into my modem, and then my computer is plugged into the router, I cannot connect to the internet.
(a direct connection between modem and computer works fine)
So I tried to reset my router (My ISP told me I should try that) so I reset it while the computer was plugged into the router, but then I couldnt connect to the IP address you put here.
Do I have a different sort of problem?
My reset button doesn’t work. Is there some way to do it in the web interface or through CLI or something?
My router is having problems. Like whenever i try resetting my router and then I go to my web browser and type in 192.168.0.1, I put in admin with no password in the password box and it doesn’t move on to the next page, it just sits there. What can I do? any more tips?
What happens when you use 192.168.1.1?
I have some problems. I went to 192.168.0.1, typed in admin and left the password blank..clicked OK. And after three tries it says 401 Unauthorized. It doesn’t go to the configuration menu.
Try resetting the router again. Maybe something wasn’t reset properly.
Hi,
You should keep puching the reset butom for 10 seconds,than it will for sure works .
I’ve set up my router I have internet and wireless but I want to set up the Admin/security but whenever i enter: 192.168.0.1 the browser page shows a Page Load Error, it says “The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.” I’ve tried this many times
Can you try using 192.168.1.1, and see if you can get access to your router’s administrative pages?
i have tried this and it doesn’t work is there another option?
Whoohoo!! Thanks SOOO much for your awesome articles about resetting the router and securing the network! You rock man!
I inherited a DI-524 and didn’t know the first thing about wireless or routers. In fact to me a router is a hand held wood working device! lol
Followed all your instructions to the T, and presto wham-o, router reset, secured, and my laptop is now mobile around the condo!
You made my day!
THANK YOU!!

I’m glad I could help.
I think 1 more piece of info. should have been mentioned.
After resetting your router, change your network properties to “auto assign”, else you might get a connection to server timed out error [ depending on what your network setting was prior to resetting the router ].
I just thought it was worth mentioning since some people above have complained of a server timed out error once the router was reset.
Where is the PIN # located at? I can’t find it. I need it to setup a wireless connection on my laptop =/ It’s not on the back of my router. And I lost my CD and manual. Is there anyway to get the PIN number?
What PIN # are you looking for? Once you reset your router, you can use the default user name and password to log in.
I was helping my brother with couple things. At his cable modem it is going to a DGL-4100 Router. Outputs to Desktop Direct, 2-XBOX 360 Direct, and to wall jack that goes to guest Room that has 2 Desktop Computers.
I had installed the D-Link DI-524 in there for 2 things; Direct to 2 other Desktop PC’s and to setup the wireless for PS3 in the family room. Was working fine till I did the current firmware upgrade on the DI-524. The Desktops and PS3 no longer recognize a internet connection? Help how to get this to work again is appreciated!
Have you tried resetting the router back to factory defaults, and then resecuring it? You can always try unplugging the router, resetting the modem and then powering up the router once the modem is back online.
Also, verify that your router is assigning the proper number of IP addresses (don’t know why it would change, but it’s worth a peak) to ensure all your equipment can receive an IP address. Also, check the change log of the latest firmware update to see what was changed.
Paul,
Thanks for your suggestions… will check this out tonight.
The firmware upgrade says improved performance. August 16, 2006 Version 1.23
Ironically I have the same router; DI-524 in my home. Back in 2007 when my son received the Wireless antenna for his XBOX360 the connection was really poor, losing connection etc… Did some research to find out there was this same firmware update for the DI-524. After the update the 360 has been running great over the wireless connection.
