The LAN LED on the router and the LEDs on your PC’s adapter should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?

If the router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254.
3. Is the default LAN IP of the router correct?
) Note:
If the LAN IP of the modem connected with your router is 192.168.1.x, the default LAN IP of the
router will automatically switch from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 to avoid IP conflict. Therefore, in
order to verify the network connection between your PC and the router, you can open a command
