Troubleshooting

Your computer cannot connect to the Internet.

Follow the instructions until your computer can connect to the Internet:

Make sure that the Router is powered on. The Power LED should be green and not flashing.

If the Power LED is flashing, then power off all of your network devices, including the Router and computers. Then power on each device in the following order:

1.Router

2.Computer

Check the LEDs on the front panel of the Router. Make sure the Power, DSL, and at least one of the numbered LEDs are lit. If they are not, then check the cable connections. The computer should be connected to one of the ports numbered 1-4 on the Router, and the Line port of the Router must be connected to the ADSL line.

When you double-click the web browser, you are prompted for a username and password. If you want to get rid of the prompt, follow these instructions.

Launch the web browser and perform the following steps (these steps are specific to Internet Explorer but are similar for other browsers):

1.Select Tools > Internet Options.

2.Click the Connections tab.

3.Select Never dial a connection.

4.Click OK.

You are using a static IP address and cannot connect.

Refer to Windows Help and change your Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties to Obtain an IP address automatically.

The computer cannot connect wirelessly to the network.

Make sure the wireless network name or SSID is the same on both the computer and the Router. If you have enabled wireless security, then make sure the same security method and key are used by both the computer and the Router.

You need to modify the basic settings on the Router.

Run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM.

You need to modify the advanced settings on the Router.

Open the web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox), and enter the Router’s IP address in the address field (the default IP address is 192.168.1.1). When prompted, complete the User name and Password fields (the default user name and password is admin). Click the appropriate tab to change the settings.

How do you connect to the mobile network?

There are three options available.

First Option Using the Front Panel Button

1.Power on the Router with the mobile broadband data card or USB adapter installed.

2.Press the Mobile Connect/Disconnect button on the front panel of the Router.

5.The Router will connect to the mobile network via the mobile broadband data card or USB adapter. If this is successful, the Mobile Connection line will say, “Connected” instead of “Disconnected.”

Third Option Using the Auto Connect Feature

1.Open the web browser.

2.Enter the Router’s IP address in the Address field (the default IP address is 192.168.1.1). Press Enter.
