Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that prevent you from connecting to the Internet or connecting to the router.

Make sure the wireless settings in the computer and router match exactly

The Wireless Network Name (SSID), channel, and WEP settings of the router and wireless computer must match exactly.

Be sure to restart your network in the correct sequence. Follow this sequence. Turn off the modem, router, and computer. Turn on the modem first and wait two minutes. Next turn on the router, and finally the computer.

Be sure to restart your network in the correct sequence

Follow this sequence. Turn off the modem, router, and computer. Turn on the modem first and wait two minutes. Next turn on the router, and finally the computer.

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in

For each powered on computer connected to the router with a securely plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding router LAN port status light will be lit. The label on the bottom of the router identifies the number of each LAN port.

The Internet port status light on the router will be lit if the Ethernet cable from the router to the modem is plugged in securely and the modem and router are turned on.

Make sure the network settings are correct

LAN and wirelessly connected computers must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP. For instructions on how to do this, please see the animated tutorials on the 54 Mbps Wireless Router Resource CD or Appendix C in the Reference Manual on the CD.

Some cable modem ISPs require you to set the router to use the MAC address of the computer registered on the account. If so, in the Basic Settings menu Router MAC Address section, select "Use this Computer's MAC address." The router will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the computer that is registered with the ISP. Click Apply to save your settings. Restart the network in the correct sequence.
