Your computer or other wired, Ethernet device cannot communicate with the
wireless router.
1.
Access the bridge’s browser-based utility

matches the name of your wireless network

Make sure the security settings (WPA, WPA2, or WEP) match the security
settings of your wireless network
The bridge’s IP address needs to be changed.
If the bridge is connected to a network with a DHCP server (usually the network
router), then the bridge will obtain its IP address from the DHCP server If
there is no DHCP ser ver, then the bridge will use its default, static IP address,
169.254.1.250
If you want the bridge to always use a static IP address, then follow these
instructions:
1.
Access the bridge’s browser-based utility
2.
Click the Network Setup tab
3.
From the Network Connection Type drop-down menu, select Static IP
4.
Complete the Static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields

The bridge-enabled computer or other wired, Ethernet device will not
communicate with another wireless-enabled device (such as a computer or
printer).
Check the following:
• Make sure the wireless-enabled device is on the same wireless network
as the computer or other wired, Ethernet device connected to the bridge
• Make sure that the same Network Name (SSID) is used for all devices on
the wireless network
• Make sure all devices are on the same IP network, using compatible IP
addresses
The browser-based utility does not accept your password.
Check the following:
• The password is case-sensitive Make sure that you are using the correct

the password will be reset to its factory default, admin All other bridge
settings will be reset to the factory defaults as well ( To access the
browser-based utility, enter admin in the Password field )

are not displayed on-screen.

follow these instructions:
