    • 192.168.1.1, the default IP address OR
    • 10.xx.yy.1, where xx is the first two digits of your team’s # (it can be one digit if your team has a three-digit #) and yy is the last two OR
    • type in dlinkap/ and hit enter.

  3. You’ll get a prompt for the router name and password like the one shown below. On a brand new router or a router that was reseted, the login info will be this:

    User Name: Admin

    No Password (by default)
