Newly installed DIR-615 - how to connect to the wireless?

Question

I've just installed a D-Link DIR 615, but can't figure out how to connect to the wireless..

When I double click my wireless icon in the tray, it does show the new network.

Its starts the "WiFi protected setup wizard" and the first thing it asks for is the "Device Ownership Password". I have no idea what that is - I've tried the PIN and the router password.

On the next page it says:

SSID: _(name)__
Security type: _wpa2 personal aes ccmp_
Password: _some long key that is not what I entered during router setup_

I change the key to the one I created when setting up the router. I've also tried leaving the key as it is shown in the dialog. But it does not connect either way. All it says is "Configuration failed"

So how do I connect to the new wireless network??

Answer 1

If my sources are right, first step is to connect to the router using a wired connection.

After that you need to go to it's control panel at http://192.168.0.1, if you haven't changed it, and then go to setup tab.

There click on the wireless setup wizard. First step is to set a new SSID. Pick some name which will mean something to you and will be easy to remember.

After that set up the encryption method. There's no reason why not to chose WPA2 (it seems that your computer supports it), so pick it.

After that, you'll get to the wireless setup password page. You'll need a password which is between 8 and 63 characters in length. Pick one which will be easy to remember, but not too simple. You can use letters and numbers (the manual only shows numbers, so that needs to be clarified), so please do so. Please note that term used to refer to the "password" in this case is pre-shared key, so expect to see that on your operating system.

After all that click save and go to the computer which needs to connect. Find the network with the name you set and use the pre-shared key you set in the wizard to connect.

Do keep in mind that the password used to access settings page of the router and one used for WiFI do not need to be same and it's a good idea to keep them different.
