Troubleshooting
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the WRT-413 and some
possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the WRT-413 still does not function properly,
contact your dealer for further advice.
General Problems
Problem 1:
Can't connect to the WRT-413 to configure it.
Solution 1:
Check the following:
•
The WRT-413 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is
powered ON.
•
Ensure that your PC and the WRT-413 are on the same network seg-
ment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
•
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP
client), restart it.
•
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus com-
patible with the WRT-413's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the
WRT-413.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using
Control Panel-
Network
to check the
Properties
for the TCP/IP protocol.
Internet Access
Problem 1:
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Solution 1:
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting
steps.
•
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are
correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask,
Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.
•
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
WRT-413. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check
its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power con-
nections.)
•
If the WRT-413 is configured correctly, check your Internet connection
(xDSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly.
Problem 2:
Some applications do not run properly when using the WRT-413.
