Resetting the D-Link router (router) can be very useful if you forget the router username and password, or if the router requires you to clear all settings for troubleshooting. The D-Link barrier itself can be reset at any time by simply pressing the reset button.
Step
Step 1. Make sure the D-Link shield is turned on and plugged into the mains
Step 2. Locate the port (network computer) circle on the back of the shield
Step 3. Use a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds
Step 4. Release the button for 10 seconds
The barrier will turn on again and the reset process will be completed in approximately 15 seconds. After that, your shield returns to factory defaults when the "WLAN" light on the front of the shield stops flashing. The username will revert to "admin," and the password will no longer be required to log into the barrier.
Tips
- Reset the D-Link barrier if you can't remember the barrier user name and password, or if the login identification no longer works. By doing a reset, the barrier will return to its original settings, and you can also create a new username and password.
- If you've ever changed the settings of the barrier -- such as frequency or channel -- and the bridge can no longer be connected to the Internet, revert it to its original settings. In some cases, the changes you make can cause Internet connectivity problems.
