Troubleshooting

If you turn off the router when an HDD is installed, wait 2 seconds 
before turning it back on to give the HDD enough time to reset. 

If the HDD LED is red and it used to be green, the HDD connection 
could be loose. Turn off the router. Disconnect the HDD, and then 
connect it again. Turn the router on and check the HDD LED.

If the browser does not display the web page

:

•     

Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN 

Ethernet ports, or wirelessly to the router.

•     

Make sure that the router has power and that the WiFi LED is lit.

•     

Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser 

does not cache the previous page.

Type

.

•     

If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this is 

uncommon), change it to get its IP address from the router.
