computer and the router as described in the previous section.
• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this
information.
• Your computer’s address should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Refer to yo ur
computer’s documentation for help with finding your computer’s IP address.
Note: If your computer’s IP address is 169.254.x.x, verify that you have a good
connection from the computer to the router, then restart your computer.
• Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet
Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Try quitting the browser and
launching it again.
Troubleshooting the Internet Service Connection
If your router is unable to access the Internet, check that the Internet connection is working, and
then check that the wireless router can get an Internet address.
Troubleshooting 2-3
v1.0, 2006-03
Page 20
Wireless Router Setup Manual
Internet Connection
First verify that your cable or ADSL modem has a succes sful connection. The cable or ADSL
modem status lights indicate if the modem connection is successful or not. Check your modem
documentation or call your Internet service provider for help with verifying that the modem has a
successful connection.
Wireless Router Internet Light Off
If the Internet light is off, verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected between the cable or
ADSL modem, and that both the modem and wireless router are turned on.
Obtaining an Internet IP Address
If your wireless router is unable to access the internet, and your Internet light on, check the
wireless router to see if it is able to get an Internet IP address from your service provider. Unless
you have a static IP address, your wireless router automatically requests an IP address from your
service provider.
To check the Internet IP address from the browser interface :
1. Log in to the wireless router.
2. Use the Router Status link under the Maintenance heading to check that an IP address is shown
for the Internet Port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your wireless router has not obtained an IP address
from your service provider.
If your router is unable to obtain an IP address from the your service p rovider, the problem may be
one of the following:
• Your service provider may require a login. Ask your service provider whether they require
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) login.
• You may have incorrectly set the Service Name, User Name and Password. See
“Troubleshooting PPPoE”, below.
• Your service provider may check for your computer's host name.
Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account to the wireless router in the browserbased Basic Settings menu.
• Your service provider only allows one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and may
check for your computer’s MAC address.
2-4 Troubleshooting
v1.0, 2006-03
Page 21
Wireless Router Setup Manual
In this case, inform your service provider that you have bought a new n etwork device, and ask
them to use the wireless router’s MAC address.
OR
Configure your router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. This can be done in the Basic
Settings menu. Refer to the online help in the wireless router main menu.
Troubleshooting PPPoE
Troubleshoot a PPPoE connection in this way:
1. Log in to the wireless router.
2. Under the Maintenance heading, select the Router Status link.
3. Click the Connection Status button.
4. If all of the steps indicate “OK” then your PPPoE connection is up and working.
5. If any of the steps indicates “Failed”, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking “Connect”. The
wireless router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you may be using an incorrect Service Name, User
Name or Password. There also may be a provisioning problem with your ISP.
Note: Unless you connect manually, the wireless router will not authenticate using PPPoE
until data is transmitted to the network.
Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your wireless router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any Web pages
from the Internet, check the following.
• Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses)
to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS
servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the wireless router’s configuration,
restart your computer. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS
addresses, as explained in the documentation for your computer.
• Your computer may not have the wireless router configured as its de fault gateway.
Troubleshooting 2-5
v1.0, 2006-03
Page 22
Wireless Router Setup Manual
Reboot the computer and verify the wireless router address (192.168.1.1) is listed by your
computer as the default gateway address.
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router’s administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.1.1. You can erase the
current configuration and restore factory defaults.
T o restore the factory default configuration settings, use the Default Reset button on the rear panel
of the router.
1. Use a sharp object like a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the default reset button for about
20 seconds (see page 1-3), until the test light on the front turns on.
2. Release the reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
Advanced Troubleshooting Using the Ping Utility
Most computers and routers have a diagnostic utility called ping that sends an request to a target
device. The device then replies. The ping utility makes it easy to troubleshoot a network.
Testing the Path from a PC to Your Router
You can ping the wireless router to verify that the LAN path from your computer to your router is
set up correctly.
1. From the Windows toolbar, click Start and select Run.
2. In the field provided, type Ping followed by the address of the router, as in this example:
ping 192.168.1.1
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
2-6 Troubleshooting
v1.0, 2006-03
Page 23
Wireless Router Setup Manual
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections
— Make sure the LAN port light is on. If the light is of f, follow the instructions in “LAN
or Internet Port Lights Not On” on page 2-3.
— Check that the corresponding lights are on for your computer’s network interface card.
• Wrong network configuration
— Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed
and configured on your computer.
— Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the
addresses on both begin with 192.168.1.
Testing the Path from a PC to the Internet
After verifying that the path between your computer and the wireless router works correctly, test
the path from your PC to the Internet. From the Windows run menu, type:
PING -n 10 <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not
receive replies:
— Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If the IP
configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your
PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the TCP/IP
default gateway.
— Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified
by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
— If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name in
the Basic Settings menu.
