Wireless ADSL Modem Router Setup Manual

Troubleshooting 2-3

v1.1, 2006-2

LAN or ADSL Internet Port LEDs Not On

If either the LAN LEDs or ADSL Internet LED do not light when the Ethernet connection is made,

check the following:

• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or

workstation.

• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.

• Be sure you are using the correct cable: when connecting the ADSL port, use the cable that

was supplied with the wireless ADSL modem router.

Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface

If you are unable to access the router’s Web Configuration interface from a computer on your local

network, check the following:

• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the

computer and the router as described in the previous section.

• Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the

recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of

192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. Refer to “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” to find

your computer’s IP address.

Note: If your computer’s 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 auto-generated addresses are in the range 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.

• If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the

router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1.

This procedure is explained in “Using the Reset Button” on page 2-9.

• 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.
