Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings.
(If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)
If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection
(ADSL/Cable modem) to see that it is working correctly.
Problem 2:
Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.
Solution 2:
The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.
Use the
Filter Settings
feature to allow the use of Internet applications, which do not
