Common Problems and Solutions
EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch
16. I can't access my email, web, or VPN, or I am getting corrupted data from the Internet.
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting may need to be adjusted. By default, the MTU is set at 1500.
For most DSL users, it is strongly recommended to use MTU 1492. If you are having some difficulties,
perform the following steps:
A. To connect to the Router, go to the web browser, and enter
http://192.168.1.1
or the IP address of the
Router.
B. Enter the password, if asked. (The default password is
admin
.)
C. On the
Basic Setup
tab, look for the MTU option, and select
Enable
. In the
Size
field, enter 1492.
D. Click the
Save Settings
button to continue.
If your difficulties continue, change the Size to different values. Try this list of values, one value at a time, in
this order, until your problem is solved:
1462
1400
1362
1300
17. I need to use port triggering.
Port triggering looks at the outgoing port services used and will trigger the Router to open a specific port,
depending on which port an Internet application uses. Follow these steps:
A. To connect to the Router, go to the web browser, and enter
http://192.168.1.1
or the IP address of the
Router.
B. Enter the password, if asked. (The default password is
admin
.)
C. Click the
Applications & Gaming
=>
Port Triggering
tab.
D. Enter any name you want to use for the Application Name.
E. Enter the Start and End Ports of the Triggered Port Range. Check with your Internet application provider
for more information on which outgoing port services it is using.
F. Enter the Start and End Ports of the Forwarded Port Range. Check with your Internet application provider
for more information on which incoming port services are required by the Internet application.
18. When I enter a URL or IP address, I get a time-out error or am prompted to retry.
Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:
• Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your workstation’s IP settings are correct (IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS). Restart the computer that is having a problem.
• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Router. Ensure that it is connected and
powered on. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power
connections.)
