D-Link Router Default Passwords and IPs for 2026

_{[1] The D-Link DI-634M router has two default access accounts, an administrator-level account (username of admin) that is used for router management and a user-level account (username of user) that is used to view data but not make changes.}

_{[2] D-Link DI-701 routers have an administrator-level default account (no username or password required), as well as another administrator-level account for ISPs called Super Admin (no username with a password of year2000) that grants the additional ability to set a user limit via the usrlimit command, available in the router’s terminal mode.}

_{[3] These D-Link routers, the DSA-3100 and the DS-5100, have default administrator accounts (admin / admin) as well as default manager accounts (manager / manager) which are restricted to adding and managing additional user access accounts.}

If the D-Link Default Password or Username Doesn’t Work

D-Link routers and network devices have no secret back doors, so if the default admin password is changed and you don’t know it, you’re locked out.

Resetting the D-Link device to factory settings restores the default password and erases the wireless network and other settings.

To reset a D-Link device, turn it on, press and hold the Reset button (typically located on the back) with a paper clip or pen for 10 seconds, then release it. Wait a few minutes for the router to reboot.

If the factory reset doesn’t work or you can’t locate the Reset button, consult the device manual for specific instructions. A PDF version is available at D-Link Technical Support.

When the D-Link Default IP Address Won’t Work

If your D-Link router is on and connected, but the default IP address isn’t working, try opening a web browser and connecting to http://dlinkrouter.local.

If that still doesn’t work, connect to http://dlinkrouterWXYZ, replacing WXYZ with the last four characters of the device’s MAC address. Find the MAC address on a sticker at the device’s bottom.

If that doesn’t work, and your D-Link router is connected to a computer, the configured default gateway is the access IP address for the router.

Learn how to find the default gateway IP address, then look for the IP address in your computer’s network settings.

Don’t Forget to Change the Default D-Link Password

The default router password is just for initial access. This easily guessed and found password shouldn’t remain unchanged. It’s essential to change your Wi-Fi router’s password after initial login.
