Rear panel of the Q2201 router
You have made the proper WAN and LAN connections if the corresponding front-
panel STAT LEDs and the rear-panel ACT LEDs are green. The front panel Modem
LED is green if the router is equipped with the optional modem and it is configured
for use. If these LEDs are not green, the problem is most likely one of the following:
•
The cable is plugged into the wrong connector or wall jack
•
The cable is not completely plugged in—reconnect both ends of the cable
•
The cable is damaged or defective, or the wrong type of cable was used—
try another cable appropriate for the connection
•
The interface was configured incorrectly—compare your setup with the
configuration worksheet; contact your network administrator or service
provider to verify the worksheet information if no mistakes are found
•
The service is not available—contact your service provider for resolution
Step 8: Save your configuration and restart
When you make changes to the default configuration, the router stores those
changes in RAM. Your changes will be lost if you lose power or restart the system
without first saving those changes to non-volatile memory.
a
Take a few minutes now to save the changes you have made so far and
restart the router to refresh IP connections. Go to the
Configure > System >
Restart
page to save your changes and restart the router.
b
Once you have restarted the router, restart each attached PC on the LAN to
release and renew the DHCP configurations.
Note that if you plan to explore advanced features of the router, you may decide to
test more complicated configuration changes without saving them, so that you can
test those changes and undo any mistakes with a system restart.
Step 9: Test access to the WAN
Verify that the WAN interface is functional by running a ping test from the router to
a known host on the WAN, such as the default gateway.
To do this, go to the
Monitor > Traffic > Ping
page, and enter the name or IP address
of the remote host. If successful, you will see detailed information about the ping
that includes the line “1 transmitted, 1 received, 0 lost.” An unsuccessful ping test
will result in a “Request timed out” message.
