    Wireless router question

    Hi folks

    Just hoping someone can advise me on an issue with a wireless router...

    I have a D-Link DI-524UP AirPlus G that I haven't used for about 2 years, but having just moved house I want to set up access to our ADSL wirelessly.

    Now I"ve connected up my old laptop and it connects automatically as it was the unit I originally set up the D-Link with, but now I want to add the kid's computers to the network...

    And here's the but...after two years I can't remember my passphrase to allow access to the network...so I have two computers with brand spanking USB wireless cards stuck in them that aren't going anywhere.

    Is there a way to access my old passphrase or am I stuffed? I think from memory I could transfer this via a USB thumb drive but...how???

    Cheers
    Mike

    I think you may be out of luck,. I think by default the initial user is admin and no password at 192.168.0.1 but that may also have been changed.

    You can do a full factory reset I think with the small pinhole in the back of the router but that means setting up everything again. Maybe there is still a manual online somewhere??

    Reset the router through the hole in the back with a paperclip and start from scratch.

    As said reset the router through the pin hole in the back. Should take it back to factory default settings. I have had to do this a couple of times.
    Do you still have the manual?? If not you can download it from the D Link site.

    Hi Craig
    Yes still got the manual - I just remember it taking a while last time (I got an 'expert' in to help me and ended up doing it myself!) so I was trying to be lazy

    Write the passkey down and stick it to the bottom of your router

    I was setting up a d-link router up recently and for whatever reason it just would not connect with anything but WEP, (although had option for WPAx).
    Also the router would not accept a key in anything but HEX and required spaces between each rather than the NORMAL colon ( just something for you to watch out for.
