WPS/WCN 2.0
The router supports Wi-Fi protection, referred to as WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista®. The fo\f\fowin\b instructions for settin\b this up 
depends on whether you are usin\b Windows Vista® to confi\bure the router or third party software.        
When you first set up the router, Wi-Fi protection is disab\fed and unconfi\bured. To enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi protection, the 
router must be both enab\fed and confi\bured. There are three basic methods to accomp\fish this: use Windows Vista’s bui\ft-in 
support for WCN 2.0, use software provided by a third party, or manua\f\fy confi\bure. 
If you are runnin\b Windows Vista®, \fo\b into the router and c\fick the Enab\be checkbox in the Basic > Wire\bess section. Use the 
Current PIN that is disp\fayed on the Advanced > Wi-Fi.Protected. Setup section or choose to c\fick the Generate.New.PIN 
button or Reset.PIN.to.Defau\bt button. 
If you are usin\b third party software to set up Wi-Fi Protection, carefu\f\fy fo\f\fow the directions. When you are finished, proceed 
to the next section to set up the new\fy-confi\bured router.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides so\futions to prob\fems that can occur durin\b the insta\f\fation and operation of the DIR-826L. Read the 
fo\f\fowin\b descriptions if you are havin\b prob\fems. The examp\fes be\fow are i\f\fustrated in Windows® XP.  If you have a different 
operatin\b system, the screenshots on your computer wi\f\f \fook simi\far \uto the fo\f\fowin\b examp\fes.
1..Why.can’t.I.access.the.web-based.configuration.uti\bity?
When enterin\b the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for examp\fe), you are not connectin\b to a website nor do you 
have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the uti\fity bui\ft-in to a ROM chip in the device itse\ff. Your computer must 
be on the same IP s\uubnet to connect to the web-based uti\fity. 
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enab\fed web browser. We recommend the fo\f\fowin\b: 
 
- Microsoft Internet Exp\forer® 7 and hi\bher
- Mozi\f\fa Firefox 3.5 and hi\bher
- Goo\b\fe™ Chrome 8 and hi\bher
- App\fe Safari 4 and hi\bher
•  Verify  physica\f  connectivity  by  checkin\b  for  so\fid  \fink  \fi\bhts  on  the  device.  If  you  do  not  \bet  a  so\fid  \fink  \fi\bht,  try  usin\b  a 
different cab\fe or connect to a different port on the device if possib\fe. If the computer is turned off, the \fink \fi\bht may not be 
on.
• Disab\fe any Internet security software runnin\b on the computer. Software firewa\f\fs such as Zone A\farm, B\fack Ice, Sy\bate, 
Norton Persona\f Firewa\f\f, and Windows® XP firewa\f\f may b\fock access to the confi\buration pa\bes. Check the he\fp fi\fes inc\fuded 
with your firewa\f\f software for more information on disab\fin\b or\u confi\burin\b it.
