How to configure the wireless network name and password on DPN-BE7212GR

1

Connect your computer, smartphone, or tablet to the router either via Wi-Fi or by using an Ethernet cable.

Note: The default Wi-Fi name SSID is D-Link-XXXX and Wi-Fi password printed on the bottom of the router.

2

Once connected, open a web browser and type in the URL bar https://192.168.0.1 and hit enter.

Note: You might see a "Privacy Error" or similar security warning. This happens because the router uses a self-signed SSL certificate, which browsers may not recognize as secure.

Here's how to proceed:

  1. Click on Advanced at the bottom of the warning page.

  2. Then, select Continue to 192.168.0.1 (unsafe) to access the router's login page. If you’re hesitant to proceed due to security concerns, you can review the certificate details to verify its issuer and confirm that it is associated with D-Link. To do this:

  3. Click the "Not Secure" icon or the padlock symbol (depending on your browser).

  4. View the certificate details to confirm it was issued by the D-Link manufacturer

3

You will be prompted to enter the username and password to access the router’s settings.

Note: If you've forgotten the password, you can press the Reset button at the back of the router for 10 seconds to restore the router to its factory default settings, allowing you to reset the password.

4

Once logged in, navigate to the Basic tab, and click on WLAN Settings. Choose which network's name and password you want to change.

5

Choose 2.4G SSID or 5G SSID (if needed). Replace the "SSID name" with your new WiFi name

6

Go to the WPA Pre-Shared key field. First, remove the current password (you can reveal it by checking the Display Key box). Then, enter the new password you want to use.

7

Hit Save/Apply to confirm the settings.

8

Reconnect your devices to Wi-Fi with the new name and password.
