Troubleshooting
If the browser does not display the web page:
• Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN
Ethernet ports, or wirelessly to the router.
• Make sure that the modem router has full power and that the WiFi
LED is lit.
• Close and reopen the browser so the browser does not cache the
previous page.
• Browse to http://routerlogin.net.
• If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is
uncommon), change it to obtain an IP address automatically from
the modem router.
If the modem router does not power on:
1. Make sure that the On/Off button on the back of the modem
router is in the on position.
2. Check your cables.
• Disconnect and reconnect each cable. There is usually an
audible click when the cable is correctly connected.
• For ADSL connections, see if the telephone cable connecting
your modem router to the wall jack is plugged into a filter. If
you do not have telephone voice service, a filter is not
required. A filter that is installed where it is not needed might
eliminate your ADSL signal.

plugging the power adapter cord into another power outlet.
e. Wait for the WiFi LED to turn blue.
4. Open a web browser and try to access the Internet.
If steps 1–4 do not resolve the problem:
5. Reset your modem router.
