Troubleshooting

Q1: How do I configure TCP/IP settings on my computer?

1.Go into the Control Panel and double- click the Network Connections icon, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and then click Properties.

2.Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties. Then click on Use the following IP address, and make sure you assign your network adapter an IP address in the subnet of 192.168.1.x.

Q2: I typed http://192.168.1.100 in my Internet Browser's Address Bar, but an error message says “The page cannot be displayed.” How can I get into the TEW-430APB's web configuration page?

A2: First, check your hardware settings again by following the instructions in section 2. Second, make sure the LAN and WLAN lights are lit. Third, make sure the TCP/IP settings are configured properly (see Q1). Fourth, since the Access Point's default IP address is 192.168.1.100, make sure that no other network devices are assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.100.

Q3: If my network's IP is different than the Access Point's range, what should I do?

A3: You should still configure the Access Point first. After all the settings are applied, go to the Access Point's configuration page, click on TCP/IP settings and change the IP address of the Access Point to match your network's IP.
