Router Setup Manual

2-6 Troubleshooting

v1.0, April 2007

If you cannot connect after several minutes, you may be using an incorrect Service Name, User

Name or Password. There also may be a provisioning problem with your ISP.

Troubleshooting Internet Browsing

If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any Web pages from the

Internet, check the following.

• Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses.

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses)

to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS

servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, restart

your computer. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses,

as explained in the documentation for your computer.

• Your computer may not have the router configured as its default gateway.

Reboot the computer and verify the router address (www.routerlogin.net) is listed by your

computer as the default gateway address.

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the

router’s administration password to password and the IP address to www.routerlogin.net. You can

erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults.

To restore the factory default configuration settings, use the Default Reset button on the rear panel

of the router.

1. Use a sharp object like a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the default reset button for about

5 seconds (see page 1-3), until the test light on the front blinks.

2. Release the reset button and wait for the router to reboot.

Note: Unless you connect manually, the router will not authenticate using PPPoE until

data is transmitted to the network.
