8. Troubleshooting
8.1. Turning off the Wi‑Fi
When you press and hold the
Wi‑Fi
( ) button between three and eight seconds,
the Wi‑Fi will be turned off or on depending on its current state.
How can I tell whether the Wi‑Fi is on?
If the
Wi‑Fi
( ) LED is solid or blinking green, the Wi‑Fi is on.
If the
Wi‑Fi
( ) LED is off, then use one of the following methods to check if the
Wi‑Fi is on:
• Browse to the
DGA4231
web interface and check the colors of the bullet in
the
Wireless
card. If the bullets are green, then the Wi‑Fi is on.
• On a Wi‑Fi device that is within range of the
DGA4231
, check whether the
DGA4231
appears in the list of available networks.
8.2. WPS troubleshooting
WPS does not start
Make sure that the Wi‑Fi is on. For more information, see
The WPS LED is blinking red
This indicates that your
DGA4231
could not connect to your Wi‑Fi device.
Do the following:
1
Wait two minutes and then start WPS again.
2
Turn your
DGA4231
slightly and then try again.
3
Obstructions may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number of
walls between the two devices and then try again.
4
Move the devices closer to each other and then try again.
Wi‑Fi settings label
On the back panel of your DGA2231 you can find a label with useful information
about the Wi‑Fi access point:
• The
Network Name
.
This name is used to identify the access point. Some use the term SSID instead.
• The
Wireless Key
.
This key is used to secure the Wi‑Fi network. Only devices that use this key
can connect to the access point. You can enter this key manually or configure it
automatically using WPS.
Tips
To achieve optimal link quality:
• Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your
Wi‑Fi devices to a minimum.
• Do not place your Wi‑Fi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause
interference (microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.).
