If you don’t see your device or the default data below doesn’t work, see below the table for more help, including what to do. [2] D-Link DI-701 routers have an administrator-level default account (no username or password required), as well as another administrator-level account for ISPs called Super Admin (no username with a password of year2000) that grants the additional ability to set a user limit via the usrlimit command, available in the router’s terminal mode. [3] These D-Link routers, the DSA-3100 and the DS-5100, have default administrator accounts (admin / admin) as well as default manager accounts (manager / manager) which are restricted to adding and managing additional user access accounts.

There are no secret back doors to a D-Link router or another network device, meaning that if the default admin password has been changed and you don’t know what it is, you’re locked out. The solution is to reset the D-Link device to its factory settings, which resets the password to its default and erases wireless network and other settings. To perform a factory reset on a D-Link, turn on the device, press and hold the Reset button (usually on the back of the device) with a paper clip or small pen for 10 seconds, then release it. Wait a few minutes for the router to finish booting. If the factory default reset doesn’t work, or you can’t find the Reset button, check the device manual for specific instructions. A PDF version of the device manual can be found at D-Link Technical Support.

If your D-Link router is powered on and connected to your network, but the default IP address listed above doesn’t work, open a web browser and connect to http://dlinkrouter.local. If that doesn’t work, connect to http://dlinkrouterWXYZ, with WXYZ being the last four characters of the MAC address for the device. All D-Link devices have their MAC addresses printed on a sticker located on the bottom of the device. So, for example, if the MAC address of your D-Link router is 13-C8-34-35-BA-30, go to http://dlinkrouterBA30 to access the router. If that doesn’t work, and your D-Link router is connected to a computer, the configured default gateway is the access IP address for the router. Learn how to find the default gateway IP address, then look for the IP address in your computer’s network settings.
