Both passwords are forgotten: from Wi-Fi and router settings. What to do?

Hello!

Irina, 57 years old, I don’t understand technical problems at all.

Problem: D-LINK router, model DIR-320. Installed a long time ago, NOT an Internet service provider. Children lived in our apartment for a long time, under themselves entered passwords for Wi-Fi and for router settings.

They forgot both passwords (for Wi-Fi and for router settings) irrevocably, left. I’m back. I have my own “equipment”, new (phones, computers). Only an old iPad (no internet access) can get Wi-Fi.

Everything else requires a new “connection.” What should I do?

I’m afraid I’ll press the Reset button on the router, not knowing what to do next, and be left with nothing at all.

I’m sorry: you may have already answered similar questions, but it’s very hard for me to navigate through your articles, as most of the terms and the topic itself are unfamiliar.

Help me if you can! What should I do? I would be grateful for a step-by-step algorithm of actions. With great respect, Irina.

I apologize for not being able to answer your question immediately.

If even on the iPad, which is connected to Wi-Fi network does not work Internet, then you can not hesitate to do a reset. Here are the instructions: how to reset the settings and password on a D-link router.

Next, you need to contact your Internet provider. Find out if there are no problems with access to the Internet. Whether the Internet is paid for. You can connect the Internet directly to your computer (to check). If everything works, then connect the Internet to the D-LINK DIR-320 and set it up again. Set new passwords for the Wi-Fi network and router settings that you forgot.

The main thing is to properly configure on D-LINK DIR-320 connection to the Internet (to the Internet provider). All settings (type of connection and if necessary user name, password, server name) you should check with your ISP.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a separate instruction on how to configure D-LINK DIR-320. But there is an instruction: how to enter the settings of the D-Link router.
