Appendix C: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Still having trouble setting up this router? Please read the following
questions and answers to solve your problems with the router.
Q: I can’t seem to log onto the ‘Broadband Powerline
router’ Configuration page (
http://192.168.8.1
)
A
: If you have already followed the instructions from the manual and
still can’t log onto it:
1.
Please do a power reset on the router. For example: Turn the
router off for few minutes and turn it back on.
2.
Use a paper-clip or a pin to do hardware reset the router. On
the router there should be a pin sized hole and that is where
you insert the pin. Once the pin is inserted, hold it down for 5
seconds and you should see the lights on the router flash for a
moment.
3.
Try to ping
http://192.168.8.1
if you can receive an IP but
can’t ping the router that means the router might be defective.
Perhaps try another cable or different port on the router.
4.
Make sure you have the same subnet mask between the
computers and the router.
5.
If you did a ping on the router and gets a reply like
169.xx.xx.xx, that means the Ethernet cable might be bad (or
check your Ethernet card for proper installation).
