If the DGN2200 Default Password Doesn’t Work

If the default password doesn’t work for your DGN2200 router, it was changed to something else for security. Using a complex password is essential, but this also means it’s difficult to remember. Getting the default password to work so you can access the router settings is easy. Reset the DGN2200 to its factory default settings. This restores custom settings to the defaults, including the username and password. Here’s how to reset a DGN2200 router:

Restore and Back Up Your Custom Settings

A freshly reset router doesn’t have any of your previous settings on it. This means that the username and password are reset along with any custom DNS servers, Wi-Fi networks, and other settings that may have been customized. Re-enter that information to set up the router as it was before.

If You Can’t Access the DGN2200 Router

If router’s default IP address has been changed since it was first set up, you won’t be able to access the DGN2200 router at the address mentioned above. To discover the correct IP address without resetting the router, look up the default gateway IP address on a computer that’s connected to the router.
