1 Comment

Ok, here i got a more comprehensive solution to switch a D’Link CCTV wireless SSID or change the password without physically touching on the device or using a LAN cable which is tedious job.

This guide is very useful especially for those who would like to change to a new router / or change the wireless password at home/office and their CCTV located at top roof or area that difficult for them to take them off (cctv that use wireless to connected with).

Existing Router = A (192.168.0.1) New Router = B (192.168.2.1)

–Switching the router SSID–

  • Make sure you still can connect to the dlink cctv using existing router A.
  • Look for the IP address of the Dlink cctv at DHCP list (example : 192.168.0.101)
  • Access directly to http://192.168.0.101/, enter username/password.
  • Go to Setup > Wireless Setup.
  • Click on the “Site Survey” button.
  • Select the new router B.
  • Change the “Pre-Shared Key” passsword (Make sure the password is correct or else everything will be screwed up)
  • Restart the dlink cctv by powering it up physically (or restart it at admin page).
  • The dlink cctv should connect to the router B after it being restarted.

–Switching the password of the SSID–

  • Make sure you can dlink cctv wireless setting password first before you change ur router password.
  • Look for the IP address of the Dlink cctv at DHCP list (example : 192.168.0.101)
  • Access directly to http://192.168.0.101/, enter username/password.
  • Go to Setup > Wireless Setup.
  • Change the “Pre-Shared Key” passsword (Make sure the password is correct or else everything will be screwed up)
  • And now go to router A, and change the router A’s wireless password.
  • Restart your router A.

  • The dlink cctv should connect to the router A with new password after it being restarted.
