SETUP AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS
1. HOW DO I CONFIGURE MY DIR-842 ROUTER MANUALLY?
- Connect your PC to the router using an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the address http://dlinkrouter.local./ (or 192.168.0.1).
- The default username is Admin. The password should be left blank by default.
- If you have changed the password and can not remember it, you will need to reset the router to
return to an empty password field.
2. HOW DO I RESET MY DIR-842 ROUTER TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS?
- Ensure the router is powered on.
- Press and hold the reset button at the bottom of the device for 10 seconds.
Note: Resetting the router to factory default will erase the current configuration settings.
To re-configure your settings, log into the router as outlined above, then run the Setup Wizard.
3. HOW DO I ADD A NEW WIRELESS CLIENT OR PC IF I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY
WI-FI NAME (SSID) OR WI-FI PASSWORD?
- For every PC that needs to connect to the router wirelessly, you will need to ensure you use the
correct Wi-Fi Name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password.
- Use the web-based user interface (as described in question 1 above) to check or choose your
wireless settings.
- Make sure you write down these settings so that you can enter them for each wirelessly
connected PC. The back of this document features an area to record this important information.
4. WHY CAN'T I GET AN INTERNET CONNECTION?
- For ADSL users, please contact your ISP to make sure the service has been enabled/connected
by your ISP and that your ISP username and password is correct.
