| 243449 | 2004-06-11 03:05:00 | Whoever said setting up a router is easier than seeting up a PCI adsl modem???? I've tried for hours to get this stupid unit to work - the damn configuration interface is via a damn browser, of all daft things. Apparently to get into the utility you use the default admin/admin username and password - what if the defaults don't work! WinXP pro sp1 - D-Link DSL 500 If anyone can advise I'll be greatly pleased |

| 243450 | 2004-06-11 03:11:00 | Browser log-in to a router is an excellent idea,i wouldn't touch one without it. I take it your using internet explorer to access the configuration settings?,worth a try if your not. Otherwise i would remove power to the unit and try again,if still no luck then return it. |

| 243451 | 2004-06-11 03:17:00 | Yeah using latest IE browser. The router is 3 years old - it's just the OS on the system that's been upgraded, from a reformat. I got the configuration process strictlyfrom D-Link's support docs |

| 243457 | 2004-06-11 04:06:00 | Well, if your router is anything like the Dynalink RA220, and I expect they all have their similarities, there should be instructions to reset the router back to factory defaults. In the case of the Dynalink it is a small hole, like a CD drive hole, into which a straightened paper clip can be pushed to operate a reset switch. Hopefully this may get things going again, especially if the default password has been changed. Again with the Dynalink the default url to access the router is http://192.168.1.1, there should be something similar for yours. |

| 243458 | 2004-06-11 04:10:00 | I've got a DSL-500. It is one of the easier to set up routers I've seen! You are getting the 'Login to the web-based Management module' right? But the default login:admin password:admin is not working right? You say it is 3 years old so it is possible that someone has changed the default admin password. Have you got a serial cable handy? |
