I am a newbie when it comes to hardware. I bought this product cause the kid at Walmart said it was a good one. hmmm i installed as per setup wizard and after a few runs at it got it up and running, the problem being now is my husband and myself cannot use our wireless smartphones to surf the net We did everything it told us to do even made up new SSID name and password for phones the phones just won't get pass the scanning part we are secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK . I can pick up any other networks in the neightbourhood and at my workplace just not home.Now if someone can explain to me in plain English how to fix this router i would be greatly appreciative. like I say I don't know too much about the lingo you computer brains speak but i would like to have things in order its driving me nuts. Thanks for all input

Need to log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1
What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try setting single mode G or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.

Let us know if you need more help.
Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com) if your interested. Its safe and secure.

do i need to reboot anything cause it still isn't working and ive tried different settings
that you gave me

Lets try the reboot and see.
One thing you can test out is to turn off the Security on the WiFi temporarily and see if the phones will connect. wWill they connect then?
Make sure you are naming the default SSID name to something other than dlink as there maybe other dlink routers near by.
