Q: I have followed the ‘Quick Install’ but still can’t get
my router to work with my Internet Service Provider.
A : Check the following:
1. Make sure the Ethernet cable is working.
2. Make sure the lights on the router are flashing (this indicates that
there is traffic coming and going from the router to the modem).
3. See if the network adapter was installed properly and inserted into the
slot on the motherboard correctly.
4. Confirm there is internet connection (WAN Connection) coming in
from your ISP (or the modem).
5. Double check the WAN IP addresses on the router. If the WAN IP
addresses are shown but can’t connect, that means the source is being
blocked from the operating system by software or perhaps hardware.
Occasionally the anti-virus or firewall programs might stop an IP
from coming in and going out of the network. Disable the software if
you have one and try again.
*
Note * if you’re not getting the router’s IP or a WAN IP address after you plug
the cables into the router and to the computer, then do an IP release and renew.
To do this:
(
For Windows 95, 98, ME )
1. Go to ‘ Start ’ > ‘ Run ’ and type in: ‘ winipcfg ’ and press ‘ Enter ’ or
click ‘ Ok ’
2. It should bring a dialog up and give you a list of network adapters
you have on that system you’re using.
3. Select the Ethernet adapter that is connected to the router and
click on ‘
Release All ’ (this should take few moments and
upon completion it’ll give you all 0’s).
4. After the IP has been released, click on ‘ Renew All ’ (this will
refresh the IP addresses on the computer).
5. If the IP address says: 192.168.8.XX then that means there is
a connection between the modem and the router.
