Verify that your computer is connected to the router either via an Ethernet cable or wireless

Step 2: You should be taken to a D-Link login page. By default, the username is admin and no
password is required.
Note: Administering a Router over Wi-Fi:
Setting up a router for the first time is best done over a wired connection so that your connection isn't
dropped if the security or wireless settings are changed the process. However, it can be done over
wireless too.
When connecting to a router via Wi-Fi, keep the computer close to the router - in the same room if
necessary - to avoid connection drops due to interference or weak wireless signals.
