If you can't connect

If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
• The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it

is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" com-
mand:
• Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
• Enter the command:

ping 192.168.1.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or
your PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's
IP Address. (See next item.)

• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the

range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 to be compatible with the Wireless
Router's default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask
must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for de-
tails on checking your PC's TCP/IP settings.

• Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network

segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)

• Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface

can only be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless set-
tings.

3.3 Setup Wizard

The first time you connect to the Wireless Router, the Setup Wizard will run automati-
cally. (The Setup Wizard will also run if the Wireless Router's default settings are
restored.)
1. Step through the Wizard until finished.

• You need to know the type of Internet connection service used by your ISP.

Check the data supplied by your ISP.

• The common connection types are explained in the tables below.

2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connec-

tion can be established.

3. If the connection test fails:

• Check your data, the Cable/DSL modem, and all connections.
• Check that you have entered all data correctly.
• If using a Cable modem, your ISP may have recorded the MAC (physical) ad-

dress of your PC. Run the Wizard, and use the "Copy from PC" button to copy
the MAC address from your PC to the Wireless Router.
