Following this thread is a bit a tricky so I'm not sure if you're still
having a problem logging into the new linksys router.

If you are, it's probably because it has the default ip of 192.168.1.1 and
not the ip addr assigned by the d-link via a dhcp mac addr reservation.

If that is the case, you'll need to connect to the linksys directly via an
ethernet cable or wifi and either have the linksys assign your laptop on
the 192.168.1.0 subnet or you'll have to set a static ip addr on your
laptop such as 192.168.1.2 or something.

Hopefully, that's helpful.

Cheers,

Mike
