TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY

Troubleshooting

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly..

If the light on the front of the Router is solid blue, then your Router is connected to the Internet. You may not be connected to the Router’s wireless network. Please refer to “Connect Your Wireless Devices” on page 20 of this manual for instructions.

If your Windows XP computer is running SP2, you will not be able to set up the Router via the wireless setup process. You will need to either update to Windows XP SP3 or complete the setup via a wired connection.

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly and my network name is not listed in Available Networks..

1..Verify that your Router is on and the front-panel light shows solid blue.

2..If you are far from the Router, you might try moving closer to see if you might have been out of range.

3..Using a computer attached to the Router via a network cable, visit http://router/ and ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is ON. This setting is found on the “Channel and SSID” page.

My wireless network performance is slow, inconsistent, suffers from weak signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a VPN connection..

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther away from the Router.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer within 10 feet from the Router if possible.

Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve performance and reliability. See the section titled “Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to choose other channels.
