Recently, I upgraded my old D-Link D-624 to a D-Link DIR-655N router so that my laptops can benefit from the 802.11 N speed. It’s supposedly 14x faster and 6x further than the previous 802.11 g, according to the manufactures website. Also, it is backwards compatible with any802.11 g devices.
One of the first thing I did after setting up the hardware is to change my admin password. It’s one of the easiest things to do that can protect you from nearby hackers. The default user id and password for most D-Link router is
Username=admin
Password= (leave blank)
and the router address is usually 192.168.0.1.
Step 1. In your browser type in 192.168.0.1 and hit enter
Step 1a. At this prompt page just hit log in since there is no default password
Step 2. Click on Tools and there under Admin Password go ahead and change it to something you can remember, then click Save Settings.
Short and simple. Make sure you close out your browser and try to log in with the password you just entered.
