Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple
problems you may have.
Once the router is connected, always
restart your network in this sequence:
1. Turn off the modem
and
unplug its power cord.
Turn off the router. Turn off the computer.
2. Plug in the power cord to the modem and turn it
on. Wait about two minutes.
3. Turn on the router and wait about 1 minute.
4. Turn on the computer.
Make sure the cables are plugged in.
•
The router Internet status light will be lit if the
Ethernet cable from the router to the modem is
plugged in securely and both the modem and
router are turned on.
•
For each powered on computer connected to the
router with an Ethernet cable, the corresponding
LAN status light will be lit. The label on the
bottom of the router identifies the number of each
LAN port.
Log in to the router to make sure the
wireless settings in the router match
exactly those in the computer.
The Wireless Network Name (SSID) and security
settings of the router and wireless computer must
match exactly. For example, entering nETgear for the
SSID is not the same as entering NETGEAR.
1. Use a computer connected to the router by an
Ethernet cable.
2. Open a browser.
3. Log in to the router at
http://192.168.1.1
with the user name of
admin
and the password of
password
, both in lower
case letters.
4. Click the Wireless Settings link and verify that
the settings in the router match the settings in the
wireless computer exactly.
Make sure the network settings of the
computer are correct.
Both Ethernet cable and wirelessly connected
computers
must
be configured to obtain IP
and
DNS
addresses automatically via DHCP. For help with this,
please see the tutorials on the CD.
Check the router status lights to verify
correct router operation.
•
The Power light should turn solid green. If after 2
minutes it is not, reset the router as described in
the
Setup Manual
on the CD.
•
If after completing the setup, the Wireless light
does not come on, log in to the router and verify
that the wireless feature is turned on.
I don’t have a working CD drive.
