Does anybody know the D-link DSL-2750U router's default security key?
I cannot seem to connect via the cable, but could connect wirelessly if I knew the access key.
Thanks very much.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
It would seem a logical thing to add to the router, but there is nothing on the sticker referring to this. The manual wants the owner to configure via the cable and makes no mention of being able to do it via wi-fi. But I assume that it can be done that way if I knew the security key.

I see. Well it depends on how the router is already configured, is it already broadcasting a wireless network?

Can I ask why you aren't able to use a cable to connect to it? Once you are connected you will be able to reset the wireless key to anything you like.

Most routers default to "wireless administration = OFF". So even if you knew the default key you can't do it unless connected via the cable.

Yes, it does broadcast as I can get to its security key input.

When I plug the cable in, the lan light on the router doesn't light up - suggesting it doesn't find the PC at the other end of the cable. I have an old W95 PC and the same technique worked fine on that one - I.E. the router saw the W95 PC. I am sure I should be able to configure the PC in a way that the router will see it, but I don't know where to start. I thought the wi-fi solution might be easier. But having seen the next reply below it seems that the wi-fi connection will not work even if I could get connected that way.

Maybe I will start a new question about my network cable!

Thanks for clarifying that. It does make sense. Oh well.
Now to address the reason why my PC cannot see the router or the router my PC. The router address is 10.0.0.2 and my default route is 127.0.0.1 so maybe that is why it cannot see a 10.255.255.255 network address. I'll play with routes for a while.

If no lights are coming up, it may be the network card driver on the suspect PC. Try updating it to the latest version and try again.

Ah thought it was strange you weren't getting any lights. Glad you worked it out.
