Troubleshooting
1. Why can’t I access the web-based conguration utility?
• We recommend the following:
- Internet Explorer® 8.0 or higher
- Firefox
- Chrome
- Safari 5.0 or higher
• Windows® Users: Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on your computer.
Visit www.java.com to download.
• If you are using the DIR-510L in Router Mode, verify physical connectivity between the
modem and your router. Make sure your computer or mobile device is connected to the
router.
• If you are using Wi-Fi to connect to the router or access point, ensure that your are
connected to the correct wireless network, and that there are no connectivity problems.
If you are still unable to access the conguration utility, try connecting the router to the
modem using the included Ethernet cable.
2. How do I change the wireless settings on the DIR-510L ?
1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox,
or Safari) and go to http://dlinkrouter.local./ (or enter
192.168.0.1).
2. At the login screen, click or tap the Log In button (no password
by default). You will see the Current Status page.
3. Click or tap DIR-510L router icon or go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
4. Enter a new wireless name and password. Click or tap Advanced
Settings for more options.
3. Why can’t I register my device with mydlink?
If you experience issues when registering this router with your mydlink™ account, try
performing a hard reset by using an unfolded paper clip to press and hold the reset button
for at least ve seconds while the router is powered on.
Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults. However,
this may be necessary if you have purchased an open box or refurbished unit.

14 DIR-510L Install Guide
5. How do I add a new wireless client or PC if I have forgotten my wireless network
name (SSID) or wireless encryption key?
• If you have not changed your Wi-Fi settings from the factory defaults, you can use the
information from the provided Wi-Fi Conguration card to connect to the router.
• If you have changed your Wi-Fi settings, you should access the web-based conguration
utility as described on page 9, and complete the Setup Wizard again.
• Make sure you write down the settings displayed at the end of the Setup Wizard, so that
you can enter them into each wirelessly connected device.
6. Why won’t the DIR-510L charge when I plug it in with the power adapter?
If you have attached one or more USB devices (such as a 2.5” US B drive) that draws a total of 0.7A
or more power, the power adapter will not supply enough voltage to charge the DIR-510L while
simultaneously powering the USB devices. Check your USB devices’ power usage specications
and disconnect if necessary.
7. Why won’t the DIR-510L power on when I plug it in?
Remove all USB devices from the DIR-510L and charge it before powering on.
4. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset the DIR-510L.
Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the
factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the side panel
of the unit. With the device powered on, use an unfolded paper clip
to hold the button down for at least ve seconds. Release the button
and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30
seconds to access the device. When logging in, enter the username
as Admin and leave the password eld blank.

Note: If your DIR-510L was registered with mydlink, you must re-register it.
