Good day to all!

Since you have reached this page, most likely you have some problems setting up your D-Link home router. For those who did not know or forgot the factory password for the "admin panel" of the D-Link router, model DIR-300, we inform you:

leave the "password" field blank. There is no default password!

Such is interesting feature this model. For the curious, we will conduct a short course on resetting the DIR-300 to factory settings and gaining administrative access for further configuration.

How to set up a routerD-Link, find out in the following video instruction:

Hard reset to factory settings

So, something went wrong with your router. Otherwise - why do you need access to the administration panel? In this case, one of the ways to restore functionality after any failure or the previous “crooked” router tuner is to run hard reset, and then set everything up correctly and the way it should be. For this, we take recovery tool and hold it (for 10-15 seconds) the Reset button, usually recessed into the case near the corresponding inscription.

Recovery tool is a humorous name, common in narrow circles of specialists, and means a thin pin, hairpin and just any piece of hard wire that allows you to press buttons in hard-to-reach places in the case.

Access to the administrative panel

After 15 seconds, release the button and wait for the initial boot of the device. Next, we connect any of the four LAN ports to the computer, and connect the cable from the provider to the WAN port. On the computer, launch any browser convenient for you and type in command line address 192.168.0.1.

If everything is done correctly, then the page of the router's administrative panel will be loaded in the browser window. In the "login" field, enter admin, leave the "password" field empty and press Enter. As mentioned earlier, the DIR-300 does not have a default password. Therefore, you should successfully log in if you have successfully performed a hard reset before.

On the bottom of the router case, there is usually a sticker withip-address of the administrative panel and a pair of "login/password" for access.

After successfully logging into the administrative panel, the first thing you need to do is set your password on the D-Link DIR-300 router, because about the standard (read - “empty”) password on D-Link routers not only you know.

Next, the connection to the provider is configured and installed wifi password. These procedures are usually sufficient for the safe use of the DIR-300 and its upgraded NRU version. Everything else refers to the “fine” tuning of this equipment.

Finally, the personal opinion of the author of the article. In the settings, be sure to disable the Wi-Fi authorization procedure using the WPS code. The authentication mechanism, although convenient, is very “leaky”. For those who care about the security of their home network, it is better not to use it.
