D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router

You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that software after installing your WiFi DSL modem router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection.

Changes Not Saved

If the WiFi DSL modem router does not save the changes you make in the WiFi DSL modem router interface, check the following:

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

Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.

Incorrect Date or Time

Select ADVANCED > Security > Schedule to display the current date and time. The WiFi DSL modem router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:

Date shown is January 1, 2000. This value means the WiFi DSL modem router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If you have finished setting up the WiFi DSL modem router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.

Time is off by one hour. The WiFi DSL modem router does not automatically sense daylight saving time. In the Schedule screen, select the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box.

Wireless Connectivity

If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the WiFi DSL modem router, try to isolate the problem.

Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?

If not, check the Wireless LED on the front of the WiFi DSL modem router. It should be lit. If they are not, you can press the WiFi On/Off button on the side of the WiFi DSL modem router to turn the WiFi DSL modem router’s wireless radio back on.

If you disabled the WiFi DSL modem router’s SSID broadcast, then your wireless network is hidden and does not show up in your wireless client’s scanning list. By default, SSID broadcast is enabled.
