Just an FYI -- I updated my DIR-628 to firmware 1.24 and now I have a wonderful useless brick.
When I change the password, it won't let me login with the new password. I've spent an hour clearing it and trying again. But then it won't let me do half the stuff because it wants me to authenticate. Now I have a router that is two months out of warranty that is an insecure brick.
Anyone else having these problems?

I had the same problem. I am currently running Snow Leopard on my macbook. I tried using chrome to log in and had the same problem, then i tried Safari 5 and it worked. My recommendation is either try another browser or clear your browser cache and try it again.

I just updated the firmware myself. I saved my router's configuration just before, after the firmware update, first thing I did was to reload the router configuration and I did not have any problems!
Everything worked smoothly for me.

same thing just happened to me. Updated from 1.22 to 1.24na and now in the browser it says I'm running the latest firmware but the password doesn't work and the internet is no llonger connected.
anyone have a clue what the problem may be? Or how to log in now?

D-Link has posted that some firmwares may reset the settings back to factory defaults.

smlunatik is correct. You are going to have reconfigure all the setting again. If you all else fails, ask someone who knows how to configure routers in your area. In the future, why don't you guys backup your settings on you local machine.
Tools ~>System
Save the config file to your hard drive. I'm sure Macs have it similar.
If you can't login, get a paper clip and do a hard reset by holding down the reset for at least a few seconds until all the blinking light turn off and then reboots itself. The router should reset to factory settings just like smlunatik said.
