ROUTER INSTALL PROBLEM
self ^ | May 11, 2016 | knarf

Posted on 05/11/2016 9:46:17 AM PDT by knarf

I inherited a D-Link DI-624 router ... no idea when it was born
When I plug in the cd, the exec fails ... I can't configure nor get the thing to operate
I've been to the hard site "http://192.168.0.1" which brings up the wizard, but the "run" tab is dead

Any ideas ?

Standard local IP for routers is http://192.168.1.1/ (not 0.1), unless D-Link is doing something oddball.

Perhaps try with different browsers. I had one d-link that I had to use internet explorer for.

If you don't have the manual, click here for a PDF for your device.

I never use the install CD -- I just log into the device directly and manage it using the built-in browser interface.

Hope that helps.

The 30-30-30 Hard Reset method will sometimes even bring back a bricked router to factory settings. Try it, you can’t hurt the device is it won’t start already.

Your best off to rest the router and start with a clean slate: https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/troubleshooting/dlink624/130271.htm

See if you can find any you tube videos on the issue or do a topic search through Google, Bing or whatever.

Forget the cd

go to the dlink website look up the router and find out how to do a hard reset.. (probably holding them reset button while you do a power cycle of the box or something similar)

then just going through the local ip to the router local web page

just remember you have a router that you don’t know the status of for all you know the reason they got rid of it is broke..... someone did a firmware upgrade and blew it or something

That device has a factory reset button on the back that you can press with the aid of a paper clip. If it can reset, that would provide some confidence it is functional and would remove any oddities from previous uses that might make it behave badly.

Here’s an idea for less than $25 bucks. One for sale on Ebay.

Also have you tried both a computer and router reboot with all the cables connected? Try it with the ethernet cable attached instead of wifi to start the process.

.0.1 is printed in the manual ... your .1.1 does not respond

I just installed Comcast's free Norton Security Suite and uninstalled AVG

Check and see what IP address is set for your Modem. It’s probably the same address.

If your router is wireless and you’re trying to hook it up to your modem and the wireless router uses the same IP - things don’t work.

There should be a setup routine for the wireless that allows you to change it. That was the problem for mine.

I think I ended up setting it to 192.168.2.1

I highly recommend you consider a newer router. The one you have uses WPA TKIP. WPA2 AES is the better option. Further, the 802.11N is a far superior protocol and if you have the capability, 802.11AC is even better than that.

Hmmmm

This site can’t be reached

192.168.2.1 took too long to respond.

Is there a setup disk with the router?

One thing you might try is to see what your modem is set for. If it’s the same, you might be able to change it.
