Step 3:

Resetting D-link:

At this point with this setup you may do a hardware reset on the D-link unit. To do hardware reset, follow these instructions:

  • Grab a push pin/toothpick or anything that will fit into the reset hole on the back of the D-link unit. You will know it’s a perfect fit by placing the pin in the hole and being able to feel the button depress. The push pin is probably one of the most reliable tools in this scenario.


  • Unplug the power to the D-link unit and place the pin in the reset hole, make sure you feel the button depress.
  • Plug the power back into the unit while simultaneously keeping the pin in the reset hole. Make sure the button is depressed during this time. Hold it for about 10 seconds and let go of the push pin and keep the power plugged in.
  • You will know that you’ve done this correctly when you hear the unit click within a minute or two of letting go of the pin.
