THE INSTALLATION CD, OR CHECK MY WIRELESS NETWORK NAME (SSID) AND 
WIRLESS ENCRYPTION KEY?
- Connect your PC to the DIR-514 using an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the router address: http://192.168.0.1
- The default username is admin. The default password is blank (leave this box empty).

factory defaults in order to set the password back to blank.

DEFAULT SETTINGS?

Wireless Network Name (SSID) and encryption key has been entered.

wireless settings.
