Possible Problems/ Solutions 

I cannot access the internet at all. 

Please check your configuration settings. 

Please wait 1~ 2 minutes for the router to initialize.   
Check your service indicator LED’s. 

The download or upload speeds are very slow. 

The speed is dependent on signal strength. Check your 
signal strength and network type.
