108 Mbps Wireless Router WGT624 v4 Reference Manual
Accessing the Wireless Router’s Main Menu
If you are unable to access the wireless router’s main menu from a computer on your local network, check the following:
•Check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the “Testing the LAN Path to Your Router” on page
•Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. See “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in Appendix B for a link to a document that describes how to find your computer’s IP address. Follow the instructions in that document to configure your computer.
Note: If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: Recent versions of 
Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer
cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses have the subnet address of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the router and reboot your computer.
•If your router’s IP address has been changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to 192.168.1.1. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page
•Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded.
•Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
•Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this information.
If the router does not save changes you have made, check the following:
•When entering configuration settings, be sure to click Apply before exiting a page, or your changes are lost.
•Click Refresh or Reload in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.
