6. How do I reset my N3G002W Wireless Router to its factory default settings?
To hard-reset the N3G002W Wireless Router its factory default settings, follow the steps listed below:
• Ensure that the router is powered on (for at least 20 seconds).
• Use a paper clip or a pencil tip to depress the reset button for ten seconds and release. At this point, the
reset is in progress. Do not power off the unit at this point.
• After the router reboots, the default settings are now restored. This entire process takes several minutes
to complete.
• Once you have reset the router to its default settings you will be able to access the device’s web
configuration using http://192.168.123.254 with password “admin”.
7. What is vPN?
• VPN stands for “Virtual Private Networking.” VPN creates a “tunnel” through an existing Internet
connection using PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (IP Security) protocols with various
encryption schemes including Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP).
• This feature allows you to use your existing Internet connection to connect to a remote site with added
security.
8. What can I do if my Ethernet cable does not work properly?
• First, ensure that there is a solid cable connection between the Ethernet port on the N3G002W Wireless
Router, and your NIC (Network Interface Card).
• Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC adapter are “Enabled,” and set to accept an IP address from
the DHCP (Please refer to Computer Hardware Configuration on page 9 for additional information).
• If all settings appear to be correct, ensure that you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable. Although the
N3G002W Wireless Router is MDI/MDIX compatible, not all NIC are. Therefore, it is recommended that
you use a straight through Ethernet cable when possible.
