Common Problems and Solutions
Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
15. I can’t access my e-mail, web or I am getting corrupted data from the Internet.
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting may need to be adjusted. By default, the MTU is set at 1500.
For most DSL users, it is strongly recommended to use MTU 1492.
•
If you are having some difficulties, perform the following steps:
1. To connect to the Router, go to the web browser, and enter http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the
Router.
2. Enter the password, if asked. (The default password is admin.)
3. On the
Basic Setup
screen, look for the MTU option, and select
Manual
. In the
Size
field, enter 1492.
4. Click the
Save Settings
button to continue.
•
If your difficulties continue, change the Size to different values. Try this list of values, one value at a time,
in this order, until your problem is solved:
1462
1400
1362
1300
16. The Power LED keeps flashing.
The Power LED flashes when the Router is first powered up. Meantime, the Router will boot up itself and
check for proper operation. After finishing the checking procedure, the LED stays solid to show that the
Router is working fine. If the LED keeps flashing after this time, the Router is not working properly. Try to flash
the firmware by assigning a static IP address to the computer, and then upgrade the firmware. Try using the
following settings, IP Address: 192.168.1.50 and Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
17. When I enter a URL or IP address, I get a time-out error or am prompted to retry.
•
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your workstation’s IP settings are correct (IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS). Restart the computer that is having a problem.
•
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Router. Ensure that it is connected and
powered on. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power
connections.)
•
If the Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/cable modem, etc.) to see if it is
working correctly. You can remove the Router to verify a direct connection.
•
Manually configure the TCP/IP settings with a DNS address provided by your ISP.
•
Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For Internet
Explorer, click
Tools
,
Internet Options
, and then the
Connection
tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is
set to
Never dial a connection
. For Netscape Navigator, click
Edit
,
Preferences
,
Advanced
, and
Proxy
.
Make sure that Netscape Navigator is set to
Direct connection to the Internet
.
