2.

Insert the Resource CD that came with your router into your PC.

 

 

 

The CD automatically starts and detects the language you are using

 

 

 

on your PC. Select a different language option, if you prefer. If the

 

 

 

CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click

Internet light stays amber.

 

 

 

When the router is turned on, the Internet light turns amber for about 60

 

seconds and then turns green. If the light does not turn green, the

 

router has a problem.

 

If the Internet light is still amber 2 minutes after turning on power to the

 

router:

 

1.

The Internet is not accessible. Confirm that you have the correct

 

 

 

internet setting.

 

2.

Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the

 

 

 

router’s IP address to www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is

 

 

 

explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on

 

 

 

page 8-14.

 

3.

Turn the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.

Check the following:

after setting WPS security.

1.

Make sure that you are using the push-button (see “Using Push ‘N’

 

 

 

Connect to Configure Your Wireless Network” on page 2-9).

 

2.

Check that PIN verification has succeeded for the WPS-enabled

 

 

 

device you are connecting to the router.

 

3.

Make sure you have not pushed the push-button after disabling the

 

 

 

WPS function (you logged into the router and disabled this

 

 

 

previously).

 

4.

Check that the router is not in the temporary AP setup locked state

 

 

 

(if you are using the wireless repeater function).
