What to do if I have Forgotten My D link Wi-Fi Password?
While password protection is certainly a step up from the generic protection methods, it is definitely a bit annoying as well. With the assistance of the password security module, you can lock down your D Link router so that nobody can access it. Your device is now protected and no one can actually piggyback on your internet speeds.
However, not all is green in the realm of security. If by an off-chance you have forgotten your password, you won’t be able to access your own network. Whether it is the administrative pass code or the Wi-Fi one, recovering them is paramount if you intend to configure the router or use the wireless connection. Fortunately, our experts of D-link Support Australia have ways to recover these passwords in a streamlines yet efficient fashion.
Dealing with forgotten Wi-Fi password
Follow the steps given below if you are looking to reset the password of your Wi-Fi. The steps are quite easy as well:
First, you need to enter the IP address of your router into your browser -192.168.1.1
At the login screen you encounter, you need to input “Admin” from the given drop down menu and as for the password, the default here is admin too.
You will now be able to access the web configuration screen. From this point click on the “Setup’ button to proceed to the next step.
Among the settings, select “Wireless Settings”.
Among these settings, as you are in need of a manual approach, use the “manual Wireless connection Setup” button.
On the resultant window, scroll down until you see the field that represents your “pre-shared key”, if you are not able to see it, you need to select the security mode from the menu.
Input the new password and make sure that you do not forget it.
Now that you have recovered your password, all you need to do is test it on a wireless enabled phone. If the connection is established correctly, the above steps were a success. If not, then you have bigger problems to deal with. However, there is no need to worry, as our experts are well proficient in dealing with the unexpected.
