6. How do I reset my N3G002W Wireless Router to its factory default settings?

To hard-reset the N3G002W Wireless Router its factory default settings, follow the steps listed below:

•Ensure that the router is powered on (for at least 20 seconds).

7.What is VPN?

•VPN stands for “Virtual Private Networking.” VPN creates a “tunnel” through an existing Internet connection using PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (IP Security) protocols with various encryption schemes including Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP).

•This feature allows you to use your existing Internet connection to connect to a remote site with added security.

8.What can I do if my Ethernet cable does not work properly?

•First, ensure that there is a solid cable connection between the Ethernet port on the N3G002W Wireless Router, and your NIC (Network Interface Card).

•Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC adapter are “Enabled,” and set to accept an IP address from the DHCP (Please refer to Computer Hardware Configuration on page 9 for additional information).

•If all settings appear to be correct, ensure that you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable. Although the N3G002W Wireless Router is MDI/MDIX compatible, not all NIC are. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a straight through Ethernet cable when possible.
