Appendix 3 Troubleshooting
1. Q: I entered the device’s LAN IP address in the web browser but cannot access the utility. What should I do? A: 1) Verify whether the device functions correctly. Sys LED should blink several seconds after you power on the device. If not, then internal
72
Page 74
N3 11N Wireless Broadband Router User Manual
malfunction may have occurred; Please contact our technical support for help.
2) Verify physical connectivity by checking if corresponding port’s link LED lights up. If not, try a different cable.
3) Click “Start" -- “Run”, enter “cmd” and then“ping 192.168.0.1”on appearing CLI to diagnose whether your PC has connected to the device or not. If ping succeeds, then check whether the Proxy Server feature is enabled on your browser. If enabled, disable it immediately. In case that ping fails, press and hold the "RESET" button on your device for over 7 seconds to restore factory default settings, and then run “ping192.168.0.1” again.
4) Contact our technical support for help if the problem still exists after you tried all the above.
2. Q: I forget the login password to my device, what should I do? A: In this case, you need to restore your device to factory default settings. To do so, Press the hardware button RESET on your device for about 7 seconds and then release.
3. Q: My computer shows an IP address conflict error after having connected to the device. What should I do? A: 1) Check if there are other DHCP servers present in your LAN. If there are other DHCP servers except your router, disable them immediately.
2) The default IP address of the device is 192.168.0.1; make sure this address is not used by another pc or device. In case that two computers or devices share the same IP addresses, change either to a different address.
4. Q: I cannot access Internet and send/receive emails; what should I do? A: This problem mainly happens to users using ADSL dialup or dynamic IP internet connection types. In this case, go to “WAN Settings” to change the MTU value from default 1492 to 1450 or 1400, etc.
5. Q: How do I share resources on my computer with users on Internet through the device? A: To let Internet users access internal servers on your LAN such as e-
73
Page 75
N3 11N Wireless Broadband Router User Manual
mail server, Web, FTP, via the device, use the “Virtual Server” feature. To do so, follow steps below:
Step 1: Create your internal server, make sure the LAN users can access these servers and you need to know related service ports, for example, Web server’s port is 80; FTP is 21; SMTP is 25 and POP3 is 110. Step 2: Click “Virtual Server” and select “Port Forwarding” on the Router’s web interface.
Step 3: Input the external service port ID, for example, 80. Step 4: Input the internal Web service port ID, for example, 80. Step 5: Input the internal server’s IP address. For example, if your Web
server’s IP address is 192.168. 0.10 please input it. Step 6: Select a communication protocol used by your internal host: TCP, UDP or ICMP. Step 7: Click “OK” to activate the settings.
