ROTER D LINK DIR 300 does not work Reset. What can happen

The model of this access point Wi-Fi is cheap and very common. That is why I decided to write a small manual about resetting the settings and password in it.

On our resource in the section Home → D-Linkin addition, the general is available, where you can learn useful information.

If you entered the Admin password to enter the DIR-300 access point settings, and the current page update followed the current page and more. nothing happensthen most likely someone or you yourself changed the password. To solve this problem, you should reset the password on the router, then re-type in the address bar of the browser 192.168.0.1, enter the username and specify the standard Admin password.

When the page is not loaded for authorization

In a more difficult situation, when the page at 192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.1.1) is not loaded at all and it does not log out, the instruction may help you: or ongoing instructions and.

When you want to reset the Wi-Fi Access Point Settings

If suddenly the router began to work not entirely correctly, the Wi-Fi signal was worse or disappeared, it may be necessary to reset the settings to the initial one. Or, let's say, you yourself for primary configuration D-Link DIR-300 did something wrong and decided to return to the factory settings.

You can clean the settings in different ways. In one of the options, you will need to find the RESET button on the access point housing, and in the other - to get into the tincture of the router. But the last option is inappropriate to consider in the current instruction, because if you read up to this point, you probably fail to go in the settings.

It should be noted that the species of the D-Link DIR-300 access point model are quite a lot, but the settings reset rules are one for them. Including for the model of the router DIR-320.

Rules for resetting and password RESET button for DIR-300/320

1. Check that your access point is enabled.
2. Layout Reset.on it. The button, apparently, should be inside a small hole on the housing, so you will need any tool type of seaw or screwdriver to hold it and hold 10-15 seconds.

After this time, the access point must reboot, as follows, the settings together with the password roll back to the standard factory. I will replace once again that after performing such manipulations, you can again go to the settings using the Admin password.

To reset the D-Link DIR-300 router settings to factory, use three methods: software - via the device's web interface; hardware - through work with a router directly; Hard hardware. The methods presented in the manual are used in all DIR-300 models: D-Link DIR-300 NRU B5, B6, B7 and D-LINK DIR-300 C1 A, D1. If the user has encountered the problem of resetting the D-Link router settings, the DIR-300 model, this article will help solve them.

Attention! When resetting routers, all data and user settings are erased. You must save configurations for further restoration.

This method is to use the software provided by the manufacturer to be able to reset the old parameters to the default configurations. The method is rapid and simple, as it is done in several clicks on the computer. To reset the parameters, you need:

Hardware D-Link DIR-300 Return to Factory Settings

Router It is possible to reset hardware, mechanical operations on the device, when there is no access to the web interface due to the lost password or technical problems. Probable software failure or device is incorrectly connected.

In D-Link DIR-300, reset the settings with this method is simple and takes a little time.

The method replaces D-Link DIR-300 factory parameters and allows you to reset the password to the web interface to standard. For this you need:

Hard hardware reset

There may be situations where the methods described above are ineffective, in which case there is a so-called hard hardware reset. This method is characterized in that it clears the parameters and user data from both ordinary and non-volatile memory. A large number of useless "garbage" accumulates in the cell, it is usually impossible to remove it completely. To reset the router, you need:

If nothing helped

When Reset does not help, and the methods described above turned out to be powerless, you should contact the service center, where the router will pass through the testing and firmware recovery procedures. Most likely, the problem is already in the internal "filling" of the device.

It is extremely important when resetting the settings using the "Reset" button to make small efforts to press the button, otherwise it is a high probability to break the button, which will lead to the complete output of the equipment.

Software reset

Return the factory settings on the D-Link DIR-300 router by means provided by the firmware it is possible if the system interface of the device is available in the browser, and the password is not lost to it. Reset may be required if the provider is changed or, if necessary, perform a finite reconfiguration of the home local network.

To access the DIR-300 control panel and reset the settings to the programmatically, you need to enter the network address of the router in the browser - 192.168.0.1, and for some versions - 192.168.1.1

We open the browser, enter in the address bar http://192.168.1.1

If the interface is available, the router will ask you to log in. By default, in the Login and Password fields, you need to enter the word "admin". The required data for logging into the router control panel is indicated on the housing and may vary for different hardware revisions.

The software reset of the D-Link DIR-300 settings is easy to perform in the interface of any firmware even without special knowledge.

Hardware reset

In the case when the standard password has been changed by the user, and then forgotten safely, the DIR-300 will not be able to enter the DIR-300 interface. To reset the password, you will have to restore the factory settings on the router with a hardware way.

As with the password loss, the need for hardware reset occurs when the WEB interface device does not open in the browser. This does not always indicate a malfunction of the router and can be explained by a poor cable contact or short-lived program hang. To avoid accidental resetting of the router, before resetting the D-Link DIR-300 settings to the factory, you need to check if the Ethernet cable has been deployed, which connects the device with a computer, and also make sure that the router IP address is entered in the browser.

The problem of software malfunction in most cases solves the reboot of the router and the computer, but sometimes it does not help recover performance.
To reset the D-Link DIR-300 settings with a hardware way, you need to press the RESET button placed on the router housing near the power connector, and hold within 15 to 20 seconds. Depending on the hardware revision of the router, the RESET button can perform above the surface, or being recessed in the housing. In the latter case, for pressing you can use the clip.

The button must be pressed when the power is on and hold to the simultaneous indication of all the light bulbs on the front panel.

Hard hardware reset

In some cases, even hardware reset settings may be ineffective. Experiments with alternative DIR-300 firmware, as well as some types of software failures, result in non-volatile memory of the router "settled" code fragments that violate the device's performance.
In order to reset the DIR-300 to the factory settings in this case, you can resort to the "hard reset" method:

• Press RESET with power on and hold to the end of the procedure;
• After 30 seconds, turn off the power to the POWER button, without stopping to keep pressed reset;
• After 30 seconds. Turn on the power to the POWER button, continuing to hold Reset for another 30 seconds.

After you manage to reset the router settings, you can open the DIR-300 interface and start setting up.
If Hard Reset has not solved the problem of the router's performance, you must contact the service center to test the hardware of the device or restore the firmware through the programmer.

After restoring the factory settings by any of the above methods, a previously configured wireless connection is violated with all conjugate devices. Thus, in some cases, enter the D-Link DIR-300 interface, connecting through WiFi from the mobile device will not be possible. Therefore, before resetting the router settings, it is better to stock up an Ethernet cable and a laptop.
