Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWR-921. Read the following descriptions
if you are having problems.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based con±guration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be
connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to
connect to the web-based utility.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
• • Internet Explorer 6 or higher
• • Netscape 8 or higher
• • Mozilla 1.7.12 (5.0) or higher
• • Opera 8.5 or higher
• • Safari 1.2 or higher (with Java 1.3.1 or higher)
• • Camino 0.8.4 or higher
• • Firefox 1.5 or higher
•
Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a di±erent cable or connect
to a di±erent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o±, the link light may not be on.
•
Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software ²rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall,
and Windows
®
XP ²rewall may block access to the con²guration pages. Check the help ²les included with your ²rewall software for more information
on disabling or con²guring it.

• If you still cannot access the con²guration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing
the con²guration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a di±erent computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Please note that this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button
down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default
IP address is 192.168.0.1, and the default username is
19216811.live
