How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?
Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for D-Link Systems below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?
D-Link Systems operates the call center for this 800-326-1688 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Friday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 275 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the D-Link Systems call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this D-Link Systems phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like D-Link Systems staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call D-Link Systems is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 69% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 275 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

When I called this number, I was immediately greeted by a menu with options that would direct my call to the appropriate department. I was also given the option to enter the extension number of anyone at D-Link's headquarters that I wished to contact. There was no option given to leave a message if the wait time was too long, nor was there a way to schedule a callback. However, the call center is open around the clock, so it's possible to call whenever it's convenient for you.
The menu seemed comprehensive and included many of the common reasons that someone would be trying to contact D-Link. These include getting information about a D-Link product, receiving technical support or solving a customer service issue, including checking on an order or resolving a billing issue. Representatives at this call center can also help you get authorization for a return. Plus, this number can give you information about the D-Link Corporation and provide a directory of names of people who work for the company. Finally, you can also call this line to learn more about freight carrier shipments.
While this line can sometimes help you troubleshoot connectivity issues, it cannot help you with hardware-based problems. It can, however, assist with an exchange if you have a defective product.
After choosing the menu option for customer service, I waited for a little over 15 minutes to be connected with an agent. Of course, call time may vary depending on whether or not you're calling during peak hours; I called on a Friday afternoon. When I was connected, the representative seemed a little rushed. I asked several questions about D-Link's products and pricing. Next, I asked questions about product setup, which the agent was also able to answer. The answers I received seemed scripted, and it did appear that the agent was performing a search for answers instead of knowing them by heart. However, the representative found them quickly and although I had a lot of questions, they were all resolved within about 7 minutes.
The call center could have been based overseas; the person I connected with was a little difficult to understand. When I asked them to elaborate about authorized vendors where I could purchase a product, they seemed slightly impatient and directed me toward D-Link's website. To get my questions answered, I had to be persistent and clear about the information I was seeking.

Why Customers Call D-Link Systems
If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call D-Link Systems, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.
If you suspect someone has been accessing your D-Link router without your permission, you need to reset your router's password. This should be easy to do, unless the router has had its default password reset already and you don't have it. If that is the case, you will first need to reset the router to its default factory settings and then change the password.
The recommended system requirements for setting up a D-Link router are relatively straightforward. First and foremost, you will need a functional broadband internet connection. Additionally, a computer or mobile device with an internet browser is essential. For optimal performance, it is recommended to have a relatively recent operating system installed on your computer or mobile device, such as Windows 10, macOS X, or iOS/Android. You should also have a network adapter (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) on your device. Some advanced features may require specific system requirements, which can be found in the router's user manual or on D-Link's website. Overall, ensuring a stable internet connection and compatible device should enable a smooth setup process for your D-Link router.
The default IP address for accessing the D-Link router's settings is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. These addresses serve as the gateway to the router's configuration page where users can customize network settings, security options, and other preferences. However, it's important to note that the exact default IP address can vary depending on the model or firmware version of the D-Link router. Users can typically find this information in the device's user manual or on the manufacturer's website.

Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, D-Link Systems provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- D-Link Systems customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
