  -If someone else set up the router for you or you forgotten your username and password, please reset your router back to factory default. (Depending on your router, most of them have a little button that is either red or blue that you have to press to reset it. 

Warning: Don't reset Router unless you are certain no other unit will be affected in your network.

If you are having trouble to log into your router or not able to find the unit on your network, we would suggest in resetting your units back to factory default, this way it can be reset back to DHCP in case the units were set to a Static IP address by yourself or someone else and have forgotten the password and Ip address. 

WARNING: Don't reset your Router unless your are confident in that no other unit in your network will be affected by this reset. ( if you are in a school, business or other facility where there's multiple devices on the network and you are unable to reset please try one of the other two methods above to find your IP address, talk to your IT person or call Datavideo Tech Support for further assistance.
