D-Link Router & Switch Firmware, Default Login & Support Hub
D-Link manufactures consumer AQUILA PRO AI and EAGLE PRO AI WiFi 6/6E routers and mesh systems alongside commercial DGS-1100 / DGS-1210 Smart Managed Ethernet switches. Note that many older D-Link DIR-series routers have reached End-of-Life (EoL) and no longer receive security patches—always verify your model's active support status on D-Link's Security Advisories portal.

How to Update D-Link Firmware Safely
- Locate the Hardware Revision (e.g., H/W Ver. A1 or B1) on the bottom sticker of your D-Link router or switch.
- For routers, connect via Ethernet and open http://192.168.0.1 (for DGS smart switches without DHCP, set your PC to 10.90.90.91 and open http://10.90.90.90).
- Navigate to Management > Upgrade in the router UI (or Tools > Firmware Upgrade & Backup on DGS switches).
- Download the verified firmware image from support.dlink.com and apply the update over a wired LAN connection.
D-Link Frequently Asked Questions
What is the default IP address for a D-Link DGS-1100 or DGS-1210 switch?
Most D-Link Smart Managed switches request a DHCP address first, and fall back to static IP 10.90.90.90 (subnet mask 255.0.0.0) if no DHCP server responds.
How do I check if my older D-Link DIR router is End-of-Life (EoL)?
Search your exact DIR model at support.dlink.com. If the model is listed as End of Service/Support, replace it immediately, as legacy DIR models are actively targeted by botnets.
Why can't I access dlinkrouter.local?
The .local mDNS hostname only resolves when you are connected directly to the D-Link router's LAN/WiFi without an active VPN. Use http://192.168.0.1 instead.
