Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select

Never dial a connection.

If the WiFi DSL modem router does not save changes you have made in the browser

interface, check the following:

•When entering configuration settings, be sure to click Apply before moving to another

screen or tab, or your changes could be lost.

•Click Refresh or Reload in the web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the

web browser might be caching the old configuration.

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 LEDs on the front of the WiFi DSL modem router. They should

be lit. If they are not, you can press the WiFi On/Off button on the back of the WiFi DSL

modem router to turn the WiFi DSL modem router’s wireless radio back on.
