We have a Dlink DWR 921 unit at work which we use at various events. Last time it was used was this time last year, where it performed flawlessly. However this time round, the unit is allowing connectivity but I cannot get into the admin interface.

 

I get prompted for username/password, click login, then get a page saying there was a problem and thats it. 

 

I've tried multiple browsers including rolling back to an older version of Firefox, but same issue, just cannot get past the login page. I have factory reset the unit to no avail.

Have you tried both wifi and lan connections? Nothing else connected that would cause a IP conflict? Tried a different device? Random thoughts...

Possibly unrelated but when I set up my Dlink mesh recently after setting the password it wouldn’t accept move to the next step or let me login with the new password.

Using a different browser solved it for me.

@xpd ... is by chance your Password longer than 8 characters?

 

I recall reading that some DLink routers go funny like that if long Passwords are used .... so try using just the first 8 characters of your Password.

 

If you've done a full re-set I presume you used the Name and Password printed on label underneath device?

had a similar issue once, and eventually, it would let me in, but it didn't save any settings and reverted back to the admin password and default IP every time it lost power. I put it down to a hardware problem after google confirmed similar issues as a result of hardware issues and binned it
