Summary:
This article describes how to setup encryption on the D-Link DL-524 Wireless router. Other D-Link routers may have the same screens. Note that as soon as you change the encryption settings on the router, all wireless PCs will no longer be able to connect to the router until their encryption settings match. Wired PCs will be unaffected. Further note that prior to configuring encryption you need to decide the kind of encryption to use. This router appears to only support WEP encryption.
Resolution:
To login to the router, in Internet explorer, go to http://192.168.0.1. If that does not work then try plugging the PC into the router using a wired connection. Finally, try resetting the router using the reset switch on the back or bottom of the router. Note, this will clear all router settings.
If the login works this screen will appear:
Type Admin in the User Name field, leave the Password blank and click OK.
This results in the screen:
Click on the Wireless tab on the left of the screen. This results in this screen:
Select Enabled for WEP. Select the WEP Encryption type 64bit or 128bit.Leave the Key Type as Hex. Ensure that Key 1 is selected and enter either a 10 digit key code or a 26 digit key code depending upon the Encryption type selected. Click Apply when done.
