Limited connectivity usually indicates that a DHCP server is missing from the network.
Please go into your TCP/IP properties and use a static IP address. If your DI-604
is set to default then choose an address like 192.168.0.10 since the router should
be 192.168.0.1. The mask should be 255.255.255.0. At this point gateway and DNS
don't really matter but you could use 192.168.0.1. Then from a command prompt try
to ping 192.168.0.1 to see if your router is at that address. If it is then go into
Internet Explorer and put 192.168.0.1 on the address bar and hit enter. This should
get you to the Web setup page for the DI-604. As stated previously the user should
be admin with a blank password. If not then you may have to reset the unit to its
defaults. I copied the following instruction from the d-link site to help you reset
to defaults.
Step 1 Locate the reset pinhole on the back of the unit.
Step 2 With the unit powered on, press and hold the Reset button.
Step 3 Hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds.
Step 4 Release the Reset button.
Step 5 The unit will reboot. Allow 20-30 seconds before reconnecting.
Step 6 The device is now at factory defaults.
Note: Do not recycle power during the reset procedure.
The default user name for most D-Link devices is admin and the password is left blank.
Hope that helps.
