Troubleshooting

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.

The Router does not have a coaxial port for the cable connection.

The Router does not replace your modem. You still need your cable modem in order to use the Router. Connect your cable connection to the cable modem, insert the setup CD into your computer, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

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 settings on the Router.

To access the web-based utility, follow these instructions:

1.Launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Router’s default IP address, 192.168.15.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.

NOTE: If you place the Router behind a primary router with the IP address of 192.168.15.1, then the Router will automatically assume a new default IP address, 192.168.16.1.

2.A login screen appears. The first time you open the web-based utility, use the default user name and password, admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Then click OK.

3.Click the appropriate tab to change the settings.
