Troubleshooting

Q1: I typed http://192.168.1.1 in my Internet browser's address bar, but

error message says "The page cannot be displayed". How can I get into

the TEW-450APB's web configuration page?

A1: Please check your hardware and TCP/IP settings again by following the instructions in sections 1~3. Make sure the Power, LAN, and WLAN LEDs are lit and the TCP/IP configurations are correct. Then try accessing http://192.168.1.1 again.

Q2: If my network's IP is different than the Access Point's range, what

should I do?

A2: 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 for the Access Point to match your network's IP.

Q3. After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network

settings, I cannot connect to my network using wireless computers.

A3: If you have a DHCP server in your network, you need to go into TCP/IP settings again and re-select "Obtain an IP automatically" for

Windows 98/ME and "Obtain an IP Address automatically" for Windows 2000/XP to allow the PC to regain an IP address from your DHCP server.

Q4. All the settings are set correctly, but I still can't use the Access Point,

what should I do?

A4: You can find additional information in the User's Guide. If you still have Problems, contact our Technical Support by email or phone.
