DIR-510L Install Guide
5. How do I add a new wireless client or PC if I have forgotten my wireless network
name (SSID) or wireless encryption key?
• If you have not changed your Wi-Fi settings from the factory defaults, you can use the
information from the provided Wi-Fi Configuration card to connect to the router.
• If you have changed your Wi-Fi settings, you should access the web-based configuration
utility as described on page 9, and complete the
Setup Wizard
again.
• Make sure you write down the settings displayed at the end of the
Setup Wizard
, so that
you can enter them into each wirelessly connected device.
6. Why won’t the DIR-510L charge when I plug it in with the power adapter?
If you have attached one or more USB devices (such as a 2.5” US B drive) that draws a total of 0.7A
or more power, the power adapter will not supply enough voltage to charge the DIR-510L while
simultaneously powering the USB devices. Check your USB devices’ power usage specifications
and disconnect if necessary.
7. Why won’t the DIR-510L power on when I plug it in?
Remove all USB devices from the DIR-510L and charge it before powering on.
4. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset the DIR-510L.
Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the
factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the side panel
of the unit. With the device powered on, use an unfolded paper clip
to hold the button down for at least five seconds. Release the button
and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30
seconds to access the device. When logging in, enter the username
as
Admin
and leave the password field blank.

Note:
If your DIR-510L was registered with mydlink, you must re-register it.
