D-Link 524 Wireless Router - Need Help

Cyberdude · 08-21-2005, 11:50 AM

I just purchased a D-Link DI-524 Wireless Router (H/W v.C1, F/W v3.02), and the manuals provided and online are missing information. The Manual is missing the following Wireless settings and explanations:

Mode Settings: G Mode Mix Mode
SSID Broadcast: Enabled Disabled
Security: WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA

The manual talks about WPA in the Introduction and Features, but does not explain anywhere how to set WPA-PSK or WPA up.

Does anyone know where can I find this information? Even if the instructions are for a different Router?

I hate to suggest the obvious, but how about D-Link? Start here and follow your nose, they have manuals for download.

I see very clearly in their manual how to set the SSID broadcast off, even though I personally think that's a bad idea.

Unless the settings for WEP and WPA are much more complicated than my DI-614+, it's pretty trivial to configure them. Did you send an email to D-Link tech support? Instructions from a different router won't help, think about it.
