1. Why can't I access the web-based configuration utility?

When entering the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.

Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

• Internet Explorer 7 or higher, Chrome 20.0, Firefox 12.0, or Safari 4.

If attempting to connect wirelessly, ensure that the wireless icon on the LCD display is showing. Also, ensure that you are connected to the correct SSID for your mobile router.

Make sure that the computer you are using is not connected to any other devices (such as routers or switches) which might have the same IP address as the DWR-930, as this may cause an IP address conflict. If you have a conflict, temporarily unplug any other devices from your computer while you configure the DWR-930. You can also change the IP address of the DWR-930 in the Network section of the configuration utility. You may also need to renew your computer's IP address configuration. To do this, start the Command utility:

• Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows Vista users type cmd in the Start Search box.) This will bring up a black screen with white text. At the command prompt, type ipconfig /release and wait for the process to be completed. Next, type ipconfig /renew which will renew your computer's IP address configuration.

Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as ZoneAlarm, BlackICE, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.

Configure your Internet settings:

• Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the Default Level button to restore the settings to their defaults.
• Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.
• Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
• Close your web browser (if open) and re-open it.

2. What can I do if I forgot my password?

If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Please note that this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.

To reset the router, first remove the back cover of the router to expose the battery. Using a paperclip or similar object, press and hold the reset button, which is located inside the hole to the upper-left of the SIM card slot (see diagram). The DWR-930 will restore the factory default settings. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to restart before you attempt to reconnect to it. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1, and the default username is admin and the password should be left blank.

A diagram shows the location of the reset button on the back of the router.

Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

(Windows Vista™ users type cmd in the Start Search box.)

At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.

A screenshot shows the command prompt displaying IP configuration details.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:

Step 1

• Windows 8: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections > Configure your Internet Protocol (IP) settings.
• Windows 7: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections.
• Windows Vista™: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections.
• Windows XP: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

Step 2

Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.

Step 3

Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

Step 4

Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router's LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5

Click OK twice to save your settings.

A screenshot shows the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window with fields for IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, Preferred DNS server, and Alternate DNS server.
