108 Mbps Wireless Router WGT624 v4 Reference Manual
Troubleshooting 6-3
v1.2, July 2007
Accessing the Wireless Router’s Main Menu
If you are unable to access the wireless routers main menu from a computer on your local
network, check the following:
Check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the
“Testing the LAN Path to Your Router” on page 6-5.
Make sure your computers IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the
recommended addressing scheme, your computers address should be in the range of
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. See “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in
Appendix B for a link to a document that describes how to find your computers IP address.
Follow the instructions in that document to configure your computer.
If your routers IP address has been changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear
the routers configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
192.168.1.1. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page 6-7.
Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet
Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded.
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this
information.
If the router does not save changes you have made, check the following:
When entering configuration settings, be sure to click Apply before exiting a page, or your
changes are lost.
Click Refresh or Reload in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but the Web
browser may be caching the old configuration.
Note: If your computers IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: Recent versions of
Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer
cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses have the subnet
address of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection
from the computer to the router and reboot your computer.
