How to Access the Dynex Wireless Router Interface
By C. Taylor
Your Dynex wireless router offers a setup assistant to guide you through the basic settings, but for greater control and to use advanced settings, you'll need to access the Web-based administrator interface. This utility resides in the router's hardware, so you'll need a connection with the router. Although a wireless connection allows access to the router, it is highly recommended you use a wired connection to prevent connectivity issues, especially if you plan to modify wireless settings.
Step 1
Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer's Ethernet port to any of the four numbered ports on the back of the Dynex router. Wait a few seconds for Windows 8 to recognize the connection.
Step 2
Open your Internet browser and enter "192.168.2.1" without quotes in the address bar.
Step 3
Click "Login," enter the router's password, and then click "Submit." If you haven't changed the password, leave it blank -- the Dynex router does not require a password by default. Once logged in, you have access to all advanced features of the router.
