D-Link DWR-2000M 5G Wi-Fi 6 Router Setup Procedure

This guide will help you set up your DWR-2000M 5G Wi-Fi 6 Router using a Nano SIM in just a few steps.

1. 1 Insert Nano SIM to the DWR-2000M.

   • Insert your Nano SIM card into the SIM slot on the router. Use the diagram near the slot as a guide. Push it in gently until you hear a clicking sound ? (Diagram not provided in text).
   • Place the router near a window so it can get a better signal from the cell tower. Avoid placing it in shelves / enclosed spaces, or in a spot where LTE / 5G reception is weak.
   • Once the SIM card is in place and the router is positioned properly, plug in the power adapter and switch the device on. Wait a minute or two for the boot up process.

2. 2 Check Network Signal

   • By default, the router should automatically detect and apply the APN settings of your SIM card carrier card.
   • Check the 4G/5G LED indicators on the router.

   • LED Color	Signal Strength
     Green	Strong
     Blue	Medium
     Yellow	Weak
     Off	No Signal

   • If signal is weak, try moving the router close to a window or an elevated placement to get a better LTE / 5G reception.

3. 3 Connect to the Router.

   • Connect your PC / Laptop to DWR-2000M either Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) is DLink2G-XXXX and DLink5G-XXXX, with the password printed on the product label.
   • 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.
