How do you reset a DLINK wireless router to factory default? model DI-524?

Answer 1

2 ways to do that:

easiest way: on the back of most (if not all) router will have a reset button, use the tip of a pen or pencil and press it in for 3 sec, and let it goes, it should reset to the default setting, make sure the power cable is connect to it, don't worry, you won't harm or break it, if you do.

not easy way: log-on to your router by typing http://192.168.2.x (x = whatever the number your router uses, check the manual, if not, try 1, 2, untill you log on, with the ID and password boxes, again, check the manual for the ID and pw, the default mostly is ID = Admin and PW is sometimes left it blank, try it first. Once you're in it, look for settings, and somewhere there's a button or link to reset your router.

Answer 2

Push the reset button for 30sec and it will reset. You can find a small hole at the back of router and use toothpick to push it.

Answer 3

I believe there may be a little button on the back of the router that you have to push with a paperclip or a pen that would restore it to it's original settings. I hope I helped.

Answer 4

Un plug it and turn it over and look where the power plug goes. There is a small hole with reset next to it. Stick a straightened paper clip into hole firmly for thirty seconds.

Answer 5

you could unplug it for the lease time usually 1 day, or press the reset button, or find the manual for your model online...

Answer 6

unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in...
