3-6 Connecting the Router to the Internet

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

1) Turn off the modem, router, and computer

2) Turn on the modem, wait two minutes

3) Turn on the router and wait 1 minute

4) Turn on the computer.

Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.

• The Internet status light on the router will be lit if the Ethernet cable from the modem is

plugged in securely to the router and the modem and both are turned on.

• 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.

Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.

• Computers connected to the router must be configured to obtain IP and DNS addresses

automatically via DHCP. For help with this, please see the animated tutorials on the CD or the

Setup Manual on the CD.

• Some cable modem ISPs require you to use the MAC address of the computer registered on

the account. If so, in the Router MAC Address section of the Basic Settings menu, 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.

Check the router status lights to verify correct router operation.

If the Power light does not turn solid green within 2 minutes of turning the router on, reset the

router as described in the Setup Manual on the CD.

Advanced user access.

Technically advanced users who want to bypass the configuration assistant can do so by logging to

the router at http://www.routerlogin.net/basicsetting.htm with the user name of admin and the

password of password in lower case letters.
