Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems
you may have.
Once the router is connected, always
restart your network in this sequence:
1. Unplug and turn off the modem, turn off the
router, and shut down the computer.
2. Turn on the modem and wait two minutes.
3. Turn on the router and wait 1 minute.
4. Turn on the computer.
Make sure the network settings of the
computer are correct.
Computers connected to the router must be configured
to obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically via
DHCP. For help with this, please see the tutorials on
the CD.
Check the router status lights to verify
correct router operation.
The Power light should turn solid green. If after 2
minutes it is not, reset the router as described in the
Setup Manual on the CD.
