If you see a similar response, router is communicating with the network
correctly and the problem lies elsewhere. If the result is
Request timed out
or similar failures, there is a TCP/IP networking problem. Check the LAN cable
type is correct (as in step 1 above) and firmly plugged in. To check a computer's
network settings see Step 2 (Section 2 - Configuring Router).
Disable any firewall or virus checking software temporarily. If you are using
Internet Explorer, go to
Tools–Internet options-Security.
Reset security level
of all 4 icons to
default
. You can revert to your customised settings after
configuring the router.
If previously you were using a dialup modem, check browser setting. For
example in Internet Explorer, go to
Tools–Internet options–Connections
, and
select
Never dial a connection
. Also check
LAN Settings
that the option
Use
a Proxy Server
is not selected.
If the router is connected to a network hub, try connecting the router directly
to the computer in a stand-alone setup to eliminate any possible hub problems.
If the LAN is already DHCP enabled, you should assign an IP address 192.168.1.x
(x is between 2 and 254) to a host computer for initial configuration of the
router.
Q2. Cannot connect to Internet or cannot browse
Check router’s DSL light is on. Normally it takes less than one minute to
establish a link with the telephone exchange. The link will establish as long
as there is signal. If the DSL light does not come on the router is not seeing
any signal. Check that:
• ADSL service has been enabled.
• Router is connected to the correct jackpoint.
• Router is connected directly to jackpoint, not after a filter or other device.
Check if router is on line. Follow the last paragraph of Step 5 (Section 2 -
Installing Router). If NAT IP shows 0.0.0.0, you are not on line. Make sure the
correct user name and password are entered. See Step 4 (Section 2 -
Configuring Router). The username and password are provided by your ISP.
Check the configuration of computer and router. If you still cannot browse,
