power for five seconds.
•
Make sure that all computers on your network have the
same workgroup name and Subnet Mask.

that all computers have different IP addresses. For home
networks, IP addresses should be

is a number you assign between 0 and 254 . The first N

Your wired network is running slower than you expect
•
If your network is running slower than you expect, check
the speed of each component. For best results, all
components should be standard Ethernet (10 Mbps),
Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), or Gigabit Ethernet
(1000 Mbps). Components comprising a mixture of those
speeds will result in your network running at the speed
of the slowest component.
