Title: I need help
Post by: FDeathCNA on March 14, 2015, 10:58:05 AM
When I type in the ip, or dlinkrouter.local, it comes up with a black screen, and asks for  only a password. I'm on a mac, on Yosemite. I tried the password that was on the D-Link configuration card several times, and it hasn't worked.

PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF?
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
Try turning off these features in Chrome:
Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
Uncheck these:
Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Predict network actions to improve page load performance
Enable phishing and malware protection

The passwords on my card are for the wifi networks, not the router's admin console.  My card says to leave the password blank so try that instead

Not sure this has to deal with the OP. I think it's the display rendering of the routers web page in his web browser that is a problem....

The OP is talking about being unable to login to the router's config page via his/her web browser after trying to put in "the password on the D-link configuration card".

The only passwords given on that little get started card are for the wifi networks - the card says to use a blank password when logging in to the config page, but OP is obviously not doing that.  OP appears to be using the wifi password for the config page.

What am I missing here?

The pw is blank. Don't use the PWs that are on the configuration card. Those are for the wireless to connect to the SSID if you set it up that way. The routers UI admin page is blank initially upon 1st setup.
