Troubleshooting

Common Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing your BG-2000, please
check the following:

1. Verify that the Power light is On.

2. Check that all your cables are securely plugged into the unit and to your

external modem/hubs/switches.

3. Verify that you are using the correct type of cable. The yellow cable

(cross-over) for the LAN port, and blue cable (straight-through) for the
WAN port.

4. Verify that you have a existing Internet connection.

5. Check if the external DSL/Cable device is operational and working

correctly.

6. Verify the correct web address has been entered: 192.168.253.1

7. Turn Off Proxy Server On Your Web browser before trying to access the

Management Tool (part of this chapter).

8. Verify that the Network Name (otherwise known as SSID) of your

wireless computers match the BG-2000. The Network Name is located
on the bottom panel of your BG-2000 and is case sensitive, so be sure
and type it exactly as printed.
