Hi, I know this is a little random but I was wondering if anyone could help me with my D-link wireless router (DI-524)
I've had it for months now and I hardly know how it works (but I know that it does work )

My PS3 and phone can connect to it fine, but I am unable to get to the setup wizard via the IP address it gives me, it tells me to type in admin and then leave the password blank but it does not work for me.
I only want this set up so I can see what is using my wireless and to make it private so it has a password (so no one can score free internetzz from me)
Do I need to do the setup wizard to do this? Or can I view this sort of information on my computer somewhere? (I have Vista not XP)
Cheers if anyone could help me.

I mainly want to do this because last weekend my dad bought some media center hard drive wireless thing (sorry I don't even know its proper name) basically its a HD that can store movies and music videos and you can hook it up to the TV to watch, this HD is wireless and ever since we got it my interwebz has been very slow so i want to find out if its this thats using all my banwidth!

if you dont mind losing all your settings, leave it plugged in, and hold down the reset button for 10-30secs. this should reset your password and user name.. good idea to password your network too, but use WPA security, with an illiterate key (not WEP, as its easy as anythink to crack, and dictionary + patience will get through WPA)

if you have any more q's, ill be happy to help
i've had one of these router's for a over a year or so now, and know it pretty well

Try

username: admin
password: admin

I only know you can put a WEP/WPA key on setup, but you can see the logs of your internet connectioon, to see if people are using your internet. I think its in tools>log (nt 2 sure)

edit
its under status>log


and if the username and password do not work, you will have to reconfigure ur router unless u find out the user and pass.
