Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the gateway. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.254.

Note: If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:

Recent versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the gateway and reboot your computer.

If your gateway’s IP address has been changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the gateway’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the gateway’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. For more information, see Factory Default Settings on page 54.

Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to make sure that the Java applet is loaded.

Try quitting the browser and launching it again.

Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The gateway user name is admin, and the default password is password, both in lower case letters. (Caps Lock should be off when you enter these.)

If the gateway does not save changes you have made, check the following:

When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to another screen, or your changes are lost.

Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the web browser might be caching the old configuration.

Troubleshoot the ISP Connection

If your gateway is unable to access the Internet and your Internet LED is on, you might need to register the cable MAC address or device MAC address of your gateway with your cable service provider.

Additionally, your computer might not have the gateway configured as its TCP/IP gateway. If your computer obtains its information from the gateway by DHCP, reboot the computer and verify the gateway address. For more information, see Reserve an IP Address for DHCP Use on page 44.
