router, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.

•Your computer might not have the modem router configured as its TCP/IP modem router.

If your computer obtains its information from the modem router by DHCP, reboot the computer, and verify the modem router address.

Changes Not Saved

If the modem router does not save the changes you make in the modem router web management 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.

Wireless Connectivity

If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the 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 WiFi LED on the front of the modem router. If it is off, you can press the WiFi On/Off button on the front of the modem router to turn the modem router wireless radio back on.

If you disabled the modem router’s SSID broadcast, your wireless network is hidden and does not display in your wireless client’s scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is enabled.)

•Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless network (WPA or WPA2)?

•If you want to view the wireless settings for the modem router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN port on the modem router. Then log in to the modem router, and select Wireless (see Basic Wireless Settings on page 30).

Note: Be sure to click the Apply button if you change settings.

If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these conditions:

•Is your modem router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the modem router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see whether the signal strength improves.

•Are objects between the modem router and your computer blocking the wireless signal?
