1.To connect to the Gateway, go to the web browser, and enter http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the Gateway.

16.The Power LED flashes continuously.

The Power LED lights up when the device is first powered up. In the meantime, the system will boot up itself and check for proper operation. After finishing the checking procedure, the LED remains steady to show that the system is working fine. If the LED continues to flash after this time, the device is not working properly. Try to flash the firmware by assigning a static IP address to the computer, and then upgrade the firmware. Try using the following settings, IP Address: 192.168.1.50 and Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.

17.When I enter a URL or IP address, I get a time-out error or am prompted to retry.

•Check if other computers work. If they do, ensure that your computer’s IP settings are correct (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS). Restart the computer that is having a problem.

•If the computers are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Gateway. 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.)
