If the automatic "Online upgrade" fails to detect or install the latest firmware, you can perform a "Local upgrade” by uploading the correct firmware package file downloaded from the D-Link support site.
1 Download the Firmware File
- Go to the D-Link Support page: https://www.dlink.com/en/change-region
- Choose your country or region to access the correct support site.
- Search for your specific device model, then locate and download the latest firmware available for your device to your computer.
2 Connect to the Router
- Connect your PC / Laptop to DWR-2000M either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
- Once connected, open a web browser and type in https://192.168.0.1 on the address bar and hit enter.
- You will be prompted to enter the Username and Password to access the router's settings.
- Note: The default Username and Password are printed on the router's label at the bottom.
- Click Login to proceed.
