Title: DLINK DIR 505 NOT WORKING
Post by: susanna1 on December 11, 2014, 06:18:06 AM

I HAVE JUST BROUGHT A DLINK 505 ROUTER WITH THE INTENTION OF EXPANDING MY EXISTING WIFI COVERAGE (UAM SING LINKYS ROUTER) USING THE REPEATER FEATURE. I AM USING A MAC PC RUNNING ON YOSEMITE 10.10.1. WHEN I PLUG THE DEVICE IN THE LIGHT STAYS RED AND DOES NOT TURN GREEN. NOTHING ON THE PC UNDER WIFI SETTINGS. HAVE RESET . NO IMPACT.

CAN ANYBODY HELP OR DO I HAVE A DFECTIVE MODEL NEEDS TO BE RETURNED ?
THNAK YOU

Please don't use CAPs.

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status or on the box.
What region are you located?

Did you read the user manual for set up instructions and connect up a wired LAN PC to the 505 for initial set up and configuration?

Hi Susanna,

First you have to set up your device.
Set the mode-switch to "Repeater"
Setup the WiFi-device on your computer. Find the "dlink-<4 characters>" and provide the password that is provided with the papers of the D-Link
Next open the browser-page of the D-Link with "http://dlinkrouter<4-characters>/index", no password needed.
Setup you WiFi on the D-Link. Use the manual mode. Search your accesspoint and provide your password.
When this is finished your computer should have Internet-access.

Good luck!
