Enter your password. If you previously followed the setup wizard, please use
the admin password you entered during the wizard. Otherwise, leave the
password blank. Click Log In to proceed.
Note: If you cannot remember your password and cannot log in, press the reset/
wps button on the back of the device for longer than 10 seconds to restore the
router to its default settings.
To access the conguration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet
Explorer and enter http://dlinkrouter.local./ or you may also connect by
typing the IP address* of the DIR-879 in the address bar.
* By default the DIR-879 in extender mode will use DHCP to obtain an IP address from
your uplink network. If you are using multiple DIR-879s or D-Link devices, go to http://
dlinkrouterxxxx.local./ as shown on the included Wi-Fi Conguration Card, with “xxxx”
being the last four digits of the DIR-879’s MAC address. The MAC address is also printed on
the label on the bottom of the device.
The Extender's Home Page will open, giving you quick access to the DIR-879's
current status. The bar at the top of the page has quick access to the Home,
Settings, and Management functions.
Note: The system will automatically log out after a period of inactivity.
If the mode switch is set to Extender these are the pages you will see.
