Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat if the WLAN keeps blinking?
Allan CramerCommunity AnswerThat generally means that the internet is trying to connect, but the connection cannot be completed due to service complications. If it stops blinking, then you're good to go. If not, contact your service provider, confirm you have service, and check your modem for any problems.
Tips
- Reset your D-Link router if you cannot remember the router username and password, or if your login credentials have stopped working. Resetting the router will restore the original default settings, and allow you to create a new username and password.Thanks
- If you've modified your router's settings -- such as the frequency or channel -- and can no longer connect to the Internet, try resetting your router to restore the default factory settings.
