Hello everybody,

I have Network monitor as one of desktop widget, and I am sure that it was working before, at least during, Live run before installation. But currently it gives me a White Square only, and no information within (just White Square).

When I try to configure it, I have found the drop-down list under network interface to be empty.

That is very strange, sine I am using WIFI network.

Please, I want your suggestions or ideas?

Regards.

Updating your D-Link router for monitoring, from your desktop is easy!

  • Download the latest firmware for your D-Link router here: DIR-625, DIR-628, DIR-655, DIR-825, DIR-855, DGL-4500.
  • Install the new firmware, by logging into the admin screen of your router. To log into your router, type 192.168.0.1 into your web browser, address bar and enter your password.
  • Download the D-Link Widget.
  • Install the D-Link Widget.
That's it! Your network settings are now displayed on your desktop!
