The default login credentials (discussed above) for the DIR-600 are set by the manufacturer, and these credentials are used when the router is installed for the first time. However, it’s recommended that this information be changed so that it’s harder for someone to make changes to the router. When the default username and password for the DIR-600 is changed, you must remember a new set of credentials instead of these default ones. If you don’t know the new login information, reset the D-Link DIR-600 router to its factory settings, which will restore the username and password back to the default. To reset the DIR-600 router: When a router is reset, custom settings (such as the username and password) are removed along with the wireless network settings such as the SSID and guest network settings. This information will need to be entered into the router again. A great way to never forget passwords is to use a password manager. Then passwords can be as complex as you want without having to remember what you chose. After you log in, configure the network settings, then back up the settings. To back up the settings, go to the router’s TOOLS > SYSTEM menu and select Save Configuration. If you reset the router in the future, restore your custom settings using the same menu and selecting Restore Configuration From File.

Help! I Can’t Access My DIR-600 Router!

The router has its own IP address that you need to know to access it. By default, this router uses ​192.168.0.1. However, just like with the username and password, since this address can be changed to something else, you might not be able to reach it using the default information. Computers that are connected to the router store this IP address as the default gateway. You don’t have to reset the DIR-600 router to find out the router’s IP address. For Windows, follow our guide on how to find the default gateway IP address for help. The IP address you find is the address you enter in a web browser to log on to the router.
