D-Link DIR-890L User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
• Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address* of your D-Link router in the address bar.
This should open the login page for your web management.
* Note:
The default IP address of your DIR-890 is
http://192.168.0.1
. If you connect the DIR-890L to your existing router in Bridge
Mode, it will be assigned a new IP address based on your router/network’s DHCP settings. You will have to access your other router's
DHCP table to see what IP address was assigned to the DIR-890L. (Refer to the manufacturer's user manual if it is not a D-Link device.)
If you are using a D-Link router, follow these instructions to find the IP address that was assigned:
Using the router’s Web-based configuration utility, go to
Setup
>
Network Settings
. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, below
the heading that says
Number of Dynamic DHCP
Clients
, to view the list of connected devices. Refer to the MAC address that is
printed on the label that is attached to the bottom of the DIR-890L to find the corresponding IP address.
• If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30
seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately, this
process will change all your settings back to factory default.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the back of the unit.
With the router powered on, use an unfolded paper clip to press and hold the
button down for about 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go
through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router.
