Wireless N150 Access Point WN604
LAN LED Is Off
There is a hardware connection problem .Check these items:
•Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the access point and the network device (hub, switch, or router). A switch, hub, or router has to be installed between the access point and the Ethernet LAN or broadband modem.
•LAN LED does not light up if there is a 10 Mbps link. In such cases, the LAN LED blinks if there is activity.
•Make sure the connected device is turned on.
•Be sure the correct cable is used. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch cable. If the network device has Auto Uplink™ (MDI/MDIX) ports, you can use either a crossover cable or a normal patch cable.
Cannot Access the Internet or the LAN Wirelessly
There is a configuration problem. Check these items:
•You might not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP changes take effect. Restart the computer.
•The computer with the wireless adapter might not have the correct TCP/IP settings to communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up correctly for that network. The usual setting for Windows network properties is to obtain an IP address automatically.”
•The access point’s default values might not work with your network. Check the access point’s default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your network.
Cannot Connect to the Access Point to Configure It
Check these items:
•The access point is correctly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check that the LAN port LED is green to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK.
•The default configuration of the WN604 is for a static IP address of 192.168.0.100 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 with DHCP disabled. Make sure your network configuration settings are correct.
•If you are using the NetBIOS name of the access point to connect, ensure that your computer and the access point are on the same network segment or that there is a WINS server on your network.
•If your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP client), restart it.
•If your computer uses a fixed (static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP address in the range of the WN604. The access point default IP address is 192.168.0.100, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
