How to configure the wireless network name (SSID) and password on DWR-2000M 5G Wi-Fi 6 Router
1 Connect to the Router
- Connect your PC/Laptop to the DWR-2000M via 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 navigate to https://192.168.0.1.
- 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.

Note: If you have changed the password and cannot remember it, you will need to perform a hard reset on the router.
2 Configure Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password
- Once logged in, click the "My Wi-Fi" tab on the top menu.
- Under the "Basic Settings" section (left menu), you will see settings for both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi.
- To change the Wi-Fi name (SSID):
- In the "Name" field under 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, enter your new Wi-Fi name.
- Do the same for 5 GHz Wi-Fi if you'd like a separate name.
- To change the Wi-Fi password:
- In the "Password" field, enter your new Wi-Fi password (at least 8 characters long).
- Ensure that both "Enable" switches are toggled "On".

3 Saving the changes
- Click "Save" at the bottom of the page and wait a few seconds while the router applies the changes.
- Once settings have been saved, reconnect using the new Wi-Fi name and password.
Optional: Enable Dual-Band AI Connect
To combine both 2.4GHz and 5GHz into one network name, enable the "Dual-Band AI Connect" feature found at the top of the same page. When enabled, your router will automatically connect your end device to the best frequency available (2.4GHz or 5GHz).
Tip: For smart devices (like smart bulbs or smart plugs) which only work on 2.4 GHz, it's best to leave "Dual-Band AI Connect" OFF to keep the wireless bands separated.
