DIR-615 Default Password Doesn’t Work?

If the default username and password don’t work, at some point during the life of your D-Link DIR-615, the default password and username might have been changed. If so, the default data above isn’t going to give you access to your router. You can reset the router if you can no longer get in. Resetting replaces the existing username and password with the default credentials. Now that you have access again, change the router password to something you can remember (if it’s really complex, store it in a password manager) and reconfigure any settings that were lost, such as the wireless network password, SSID, and other configuration changes.

How to Save the Router Settings

To avoid manually entering all the router settings in the future if you reset your router again, back up the settings any time you make changes. Save the settings and customizations that you’ve made to the DIR-615 through TOOLS > SYSTEM > Save Configuration. You can restore the router settings at any time, whether it’s after you made an error in the settings or after you reset the whole router. Load the configuration file through the Restore Configuration from File button on the same page.

If You Can’t Access the DIR-615 Router

If you can’t get to the login page of a DIR-615 router because you’re not sure what the IP address is, the process to figure this out is much simpler than resetting the router. If you have another device in your network that has regular internet access, go to it and check its default gateway IP address. This displays the IP address of the DIR-615 router.

You can download user manuals and firmware directly from the D-Link website on the D-Link DIR-615 Downloads page. The manuals are available in PDF format.
