D-Link DIR2640 Setup steps in detail

If you have been wondering how to setup your d-link router, this is your place to be. In this blog, we will discuss the easy ways you can get done with the setup process. The Dlink DIR2640 router setup process starts with making the hard-wired connections between your networking devices and the computer system. Ethernet cables here act as the medium of communication between your networking devices.

Here are some steps you would need to follow:

1. Connect the MODEM to the D-Link router using a network cable. Also, connect your D-Link router to your computer using a second network cable.
2. Once you do, power on the devices and allow some time for the LEDs on the front panel of your D-Link DIR2640 router to become solid.
3. Once they do, you’ll see the Internet LED on the front panel turn to solid.
4. As soon as it does, open your computer system and type the web address http://dlinkap.local in the address bar.
5. If the web address doesn’t give you any results, use 192.168.0.1 as the default IP address to access the login page.
6. Once you see the main router setup wizard appear on the screen, proceed with entering the username and the password credentials to proceed further.
7. Enter the default credentials like the username and the password to login further. You can find the same on your router instruction manual or on the product label.
8. Once you have entered the login information, you will be taken to the main control panel, where you can modify the settings as per requirement.
9. On the settings page, you will see an option with the Internet Connection Setup Wizard.
10. In the “Connect Type” section, select the type of connection that you would like to continue using. Talk to your ISP to know about the internet connection type and more required details.
11. In the next tab, select the SSID field to fix a name and password for your router network which will act as the access credentials for further use.
12. After configuring your internet connection, you can click on the Save button, and the router will connect to the internet.

This step will mark the end of your D-Link DIR2640 router setup process.

Troubleshooting Issues With Dlinkrouter.local Login Page Access

A majority of the issues with your Dlink router will get resolved as soon as you restart it. Restarting your router will help eliminate issues in the device memory that cause trouble. The next time you face the same issue, restart your device and continue enjoying the network. Another way you can eliminate problems with the D-Link router setup is by performing a factory device RESET. Resetting a device to factory default settings erases the entire configuration and settings which you have made to the router. To reset your router you can follow two steps:

Hard RESET: This step involves using the router RESET button at the rear end of your router device to reset the device.

Soft RESET: This method helps when you have access to the D-Link router management page. Still, FYI, if you ever decide to soft RESET your device, go to the device settings page and choose RESET device. Your device will boot up after a hard/soft RESET operation is performed. Make sure you never interrupt the process.
