Password Reset and Settings on the D-Link Dir-300 Router

Hi! Now I will show and tell you how to reset the settings and password on the router D-Link DIR-300. Not expensive, and very popular model of router, which is very often asked questions. We already have on our site instructions for resetting the settings on the router D-Link, but I decided to prepare a separate material on the model D-Link DIR-300.

Very often there is a situation when you can not enter the settings of the router DIR-300, just does not fit the password. Authorization page is updated and that’s all. We open the settings at 192.168.0.1, there is a request for login and password, specify admin, and nothing happens. The point is that you, or the one who configured the router, changed the password itself, and now it does not fit. You need to do a password reset on your D-Link DIR-300, and then most likely will fit the standard password – admin. And if you do not even open the page with a request for login and password, then look for a solution to this problem in the article: what to do if you do not enter the router settings on 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1?

Well, a factory reset may come in handy in another situation. For example, you misconfigured something, and you want to start setting up again. Or, when D-Link DIR-300 will start to glitch, work not as it should, or stop giving out wi-fi, you can also just reset the settings to factory defaults and customize it again.

Since there are so many variants of the model DIR-300, this instruction will be suitable for all. And even for D-Link DIR-320. You can clear the settings in two ways:

With the help of a special RESET button, which is on the body of the D-Link DIR-300 router.
And through the settings. But, this method I will not describe, there is no sense in it. Since the settings you most likely do not open.

Instructions for resetting the password (settings) on the DIR-300 using the button

The router must be turned on. Find the RESET button on the body of your router. Most likely, it is recessed into the case. Take something sharp and press the RESET button. You need to press and hold it for 10-15 seconds. The router will be rebooted, and the settings and password will be restored to factory defaults.

After these actions, the standard admin password will be used to enter the settings. Or just the username admin, and leave the “Password” field blank. I’ve also noticed that there are many cases when you can’t reset the settings. After pressing the RESET button nothing happens. I think that if you can’t reset the settings, the problem is most likely in the hardware itself. Have you encountered such a problem? How did you solve it?
