  2. Use correct IP: Try accessing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
  3. Try a different browser: Use incognito mode or a different browser to bypass cached redirects.
  4. Reset your network stack:
    • Windows: Run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew
    • Mac: Renew DHCP Lease in Network settings
  5. Restart router: Power cycle your router and try again.
D-Link Tip: Use the D-Link Wi-Fi App for mobile-based router access and configuration.

If you’ve forgotten your D-Link login credentials or they don’t work:

  1. Default credentials:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: (blank) or admin
  2. Check router label: Look underneath or behind your D-Link router for the factory credentials.
  3. Factory reset:
    1. Find the reset hole/button on your D-Link router
    2. Use a pin to press and hold it for about 10 seconds
    3. Wait for the router lights to blink and reboot
    4. Login using the default credentials
Warning: A factory reset erases all custom settings including your WiFi name, password, and configurations.

If you're experiencing weak or inconsistent WiFi with your D-Link router:

  1. Firmware update:
    1. Login to your router admin panel
    2. Navigate to Management or Tools > Firmware
