Dlink Router, 401 error message when I try to get on to the web configurations?

I have a Dlink router DI-624 which was on another computer but recently moved to a different computer. The router would not install, but worked anyway after being hooked up and sorting out the IP address mess. However, I can't access the web configurations to set it to a secure network, (and other features) even after reseting the router back to it's original defaults. It continues to give me a 401 error. Anyone know how to reslove this issue? I contacted Dlink, and am awaiting for a reply, but who knows how long that may take. Thanks.Dlink Router, 401 error message when I try to get on to the web configurations?
If you're getting a 401 unauthorized error when attempting to access the web interface, that means that you username and/or password that you are entering is incorrect. For this model, the username by default is admin and the password field should be left blank.Dlink Router, 401 error message when I try to get on to the web configurations?
401 means wrong address. you need the drivers for the router . . you shouldn't have to manually sort out IP address with a router it's all plug and play. for 30 bucks you can buy a new router
just make sure you have same IP address in your network, if the ip of dlink is 192.168.1.0, just do it manually put the ip add to your network like 192.168.1.1.
Connect and start the computer with the router connected by cable. Go to start/run and type cmd and enter. type ipconfig and enter to check it's real gateway address. This will be the bottom number. If you get no ip address, or a 169. address, the dhcp on the router is not working. It should work as default. If you get a 192.168 number it is working. Type the gateway address into your browser address bar. This should present the login page.
Did you get to the password page and than get a 401 access denied invalid login?



If so, look up the default login username and password on the dlink website page for that model router http://support.dlink.com



If you still can't login to the router using the default username/password...you DID NOT reset the router properly...find the manual on the above site and reset the router properly to factory defaults. And check the same manual for the proper i.p. address you are suppose to connect to.
In the manual it should tell the the IP addy.

A Dlink ip should be 192.168.0.1

type it in you address bar
