D-Link Router Settings

D-Link routers typically use 192.168.0.1. Default login is often admin with a blank password, or admin / admin. Check the label on your model.

How to Log In

Connect to the D-Link network (WiFi or cable).
In the browser open http://192.168.0.1.
Enter the default username and password.
Change the admin password when prompted.

Change WiFi Name and Password

Go to Wireless or Wi-Fi settings. Update the SSID (network name) and Wireless Security/Password. Save and reconnect your devices with the new password.

DNS on D-Link

In Setup or Internet / WAN, find DNS settings. Enter primary and secondary DNS (e.g. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). See DNS Settings for options.

Port Forwarding

Advanced → Port Forwarding. Add a rule: external port, internal IP (the device that will receive the traffic, e.g. 192.168.0.10), internal port, and protocol (TCP, UDP or Both). Save and apply. Useful for games, VPN servers or remote access to a NAS or camera. The target device should have a static IP or a DHCP reservation so the rule doesn’t break when its IP changes. See Static and Dynamic IP.

Firmware Update and Reset

To update D-Link firmware, go to Tools or Management → Firmware. Download the correct file from the D-Link support site for your exact model and upload it in the router. Do not power off during the update. To reset the router, use the Reset pinhole on the back; hold for about 10 seconds until the LEDs indicate a reset. Default login will be restored (admin with blank or admin password). Full steps: Reset D-Link Router.
