Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge
4. The Bridge-enabled PC won’t communicate with a wireless-enabled PC or printer.
Perform the following steps:
•
Check that the wireless-enabled PC or printer is on the same wireless network as the PC using the Bridge.
•
Make sure that the SSID and network mode are the same for all devices connected to the same wireless
network.
•
If the wireless LAN settings are okay, make sure that all the devices are on the same IP network.
5. The Web-based Utility won’t open.
Make sure you correctly entered the Bridge’s IP address in the
Address
field of your web browser. If you are
not sure what the Bridge’s IP address is, then run the Setup Wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions until
you see a screen that lists all the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridges on your network. Select the Bridge you want to
access, and its IP address will appear in the Status box. Enter this IP address in your web browser’s
Address
field. For details, refer to “Chapter 5: Setting Up the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge.”
6. The Web-based Utility does not recognize my password.
The password is case-sensitive. Make sure that you are using the correct case(s) when entering the
password. If you forget your password, you can push the Bridge’s Reset button. This will reset the password
to the default setting; however, all other Bridge settings will be reset to the factory defaults as well. To use
the default setting, enter
admin
in the
Password
field.
7. After I make changes through the Web-based Utility, the new settings aren’t displayed on-screen.
Click the
Refresh
button of your web browser. If the new settings aren’t displayed, then unplug the power
adapter from the Bridge. Plug the power adapter back in, and then click the
Refresh
button again.
