Following are the solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and
operation of the Digisol DG-HR1400 Router.
1. Router cannot get connected to internet.
Access the router’s web configuration and go to ‘status’->’Internet
Connection’ menu and verify internet connection status.
If you were previously able to connect a computer to internet directly,
try to do that again, and verify whether you can access internet with
your computer directly attached to the device provided by your
internet service provider.
Check PPPoE user ID and password again.
Call your internet service provider and verify whether there is some
issue with their service.
Try to reboot the router and verify whether it connects to internet or
not.
Try to use IP address instead of hostname. If you can use IP address
to communicate with a remote server, but cannot use hostname,
please check DNS settings.
2. Wireless client cannot locate the router.
Verify whether ‘Broadcast ESSID’ is set to off in router’s web
configuration.
Verify whether the antenna is properly connected and in correct
direction.
Is your wireless client far away from your router? Try to get closer to
the router.
Ensure that you input ESSID on your wireless client manually, if
ESSID broadcast is disabled.
