I have an 'old' D-Link router (DSL-264OU - nearly four years' old now). I use it to connect to wireless and run a home wifi network in parallel to a Mac airport network which I use for the printer etc. The former by default, as the wifi is always on. The D-Link router network isn't password protected while the airport network is.

This didn't worry me three or four years ago as we're in a country area and there was no one around to tap into our network. Now that I need to secure it, due to huge loss of bandwidth, I can't access the router admin console at the IPs presented on the net (and in the user guide). Anyone have any idea as to how I can secure this network using an alternative?

(Hope my question, and the background to it, makes sense! Thanks in advance.)
 
ok couple of options.
do a factory reset on your device press the reset button in( on the back) hold this in until it resets.
Otherwise log onto the router via wireless.
click start bar type into search cmd
when black window comes up type in ipconfig
see the gateway
type that gateway address into your web browser should bring up the admin interface.
(otherwise try turning it off and on again :-)
