TROUBLE 

SHOOTING

This  section  provides  an  overview  of  common  issues,  and 
possible solutions for the installation and operation of your 
Travel Router.

1.   Why your wireless client CAN NOT access the Internet?

When  the  Travel  Router  is  configured  to  use  Wireless 
encryption  (WEP,  WPA/WPA2  etc),  you  need  to  ensure  your 
wireless  adapter  settings  match  your  3G  Routers  settings. 
Please  refer  to  your  wireless  adapter  manual  for  more 
information.  Ensure  that  the  wireless  client  is  associated 
with your Travel Router.

To check this connection (Windows XP), follow these steps:

•  

Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connection

•  

Right Click on Wireless Network connection

•  

Select  View  Available  Wireless  Networks.  The  “Connect 
to  Wireless  Network”  screen  appears.  Ensure  you  have 
selected the correct wireless network.

Ensure  the  IP  Address  assigned  to  the  wireless  adapter  is 
within  the  same  subnet  as  your  Travel  Router.  The  Travel 
Router  has  a  default  IP  Address  of  192.168.20.1.  Wireless 
adapters  must  have  an  IP  Address  in  the  same  range  (e.g., 
192.168.20.x).  Although  the  subnet  mask  must  be  the  same 
for  all  the  computers  on  the  network,  no  two  devices  may 
have the same IP Address. Therefore, each device must have 
a unique IP Address.

To  check  the  IP  Address  assigned  to  the  wireless  adapter, 

follow the steps below:

•  

Click on Start > Run

•  

Type in CMD and press Enter.

•  

Type in “ipconfig /all” and press Enter

• 

Type  in  “ping  192.168.20.1”  to  check  if  you  can  access 
the Travel Router

Note: If you have changed the default IP Address, ensure you ping the correct 

IP Address assigned to the Travel Router.

2.   Why does your wireless connection keep dropping?

Please try the following steps to improve the wireless signal 
quality.  Ensure  the  battery  of  your  Travel  Router  is  fully 
charged.

•   

Try to keep the Travel Router at least 6 inches away from 
the wall or other objects.

• 

Try changing the channel on the Router to a different channel to avoid 
interference.  Please  refer  to  the  Basic  Wireless  settings  section  of  this 
manual

• 

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that 
generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.

3.   Cannot establish a wireless connection?

Note: An Ethernet connection is required to troubleshoot the Travel Router.

When the Travel Router is configured to use Wireless encryption 
(WEP,  WPA/WPA2  or  any  encryption),  you  need  to  ensure  that 
your  wireless  adapter  settings  match.  Please  refer  to  your 
wireless adapter manual for additional information.

•  

Move  the  Travel  Router  and  the  wireless  client  into  the 
same room, and then test the wireless connection.

•  

Try to disable all security settings such as WEP, and MAC 
Address Control.

•  

Turn off the Travel Router and the client. Then turn the 
Travel Router back on again, and then turn on the client.

•  

Ensure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode.

•  

Ensure  that  the  LED  indicators  are  indicating  normal 
activity.  If  not,  ensure  that  the  AC  power  adapter  is 
firmly  connected  or  the  battery  of  the  Travel  Router  is 
charged.

•  

Ensure  that  the  IP  Address,  subnet  mask,  gateway  and 
DNS settings are correctly entered on the computer.

•  

If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment, 
or  other  home  security  systems,  ceiling  fans,  or  lights, 
your  wireless  connection  may  degrade  dramatically,  or 
drop altogether.

•  

To  avoid  interference,  you  can  change  the  wireless 
Channel on your Travel Router.

•  

Keep your product at least 3-6 feet away from electrical 
devices  that  generate  RF  noise.  Examples  include: 
microwaves, monitors, electric motors, and so forth.
