D-Link Technical Support Setup Procedure
How to configure the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless password on DWR-U2100 via GUI and D-Link Mobile Connect
WebGUI
- From the device you want to connect to (smartphones, laptops, or computers), connect your DWR-U2100 to the Wi-Fi or USB Type-C cable. The SSID will appear as D-Link2G-XXXX or D-Link5G-XXXX. The default Wi-Fi password is printed on the label at the back of the device.
- Once connected, open a web browser and type the URL `https://192.168.0.1` and hit enter.
- You will be prompted to enter the username and password to access the router's settings.
- Username: admin
- Password: (printed on the device label)
A visual representation shows a login screen with fields for username, password, and a login button. The username field is pre-filled with 'admin'. A dropdown for language selection is visible, set to 'English'. A checkbox for 'I have read and agreed to the User Agreement' is present before the login button.
Note: If you have changed the password and cannot remember it, you will need to perform a hard reset on the router.
- Once logged in, navigate to the 'My Wi-Fi' tab, and then 'Basic'. Under the 2.4G and 5G wireless fields, you can modify/create a new SSID (Wireless name) and Password (Wireless password), then hit 'Save' to confirm the settings.
A screenshot displays the D-Link DWR-U2100 interface. The 'My Wi-Fi' tab is active, showing 'Basic' settings. For both 2.4G and 5G sections, fields for 'Name' (SSID), 'Security', 'Password', 'Channel', 'Band Width', and 'Maximum Connected' are visible. The current SSID is shown as 'DLink2G-B5B3' and 'DLink5G-B5B3'. The 'Save' button is highlighted.
D-Link Mobile Connect App
- Download and install the D-Link Mobile Connect app from your mobile device (App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android).
- Ensure the DWR-U2100 is powered on. On your mobile device, go to Wi-Fi Settings and connect to its default Wi-Fi network. The default SSID will appear as D-Link2G-XXXX or D-Link5G-XXXX. The Wi-Fi password is printed on the label at the back of the device.
- Once connected, launch the D-Link Mobile Connect App.
- You will be prompted to enter the username and password to access the router's settings.
