Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.
Once the wireless USB print server is connected, always restart your network in

this sequence:

1.

Turn off and unplug the modem, turn off your router, shut off the wireless USB print server,
turn off the printer, and shut down the computer.

2.

Plug in and turn on the modem. Wait about 2 minutes.

3.

Turn on your router. Wait about 1 minute.

4.

Turn on the wireless USB print server and printer.

5.

Turn on the computer.

Make sure the cables are plugged in.
For each powered on computer connected to the wireless USB print server with an Ethernet cable,
the corresponding LAN status light will be lit. The label on the bottom of the wireless USB print
server identifies the number of each LAN port.
Verify the wireless settings.

The Wireless Network Name (SSID) and security settings of the router and wireless USB print
server must match exactly. For example, entering nETgear for the SSID is not the same as entering
NETGEAR.
Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
Both Ethernet cable and wirelessly connected computers must be configured to obtain IP and DNS
addresses automatically via DHCP.
Check the router status lights to verify correct router operation.
The Power light should turn solid green. If after 2 minutes it is not, reset the wireless USB print
server as described in the Setup Manual on the CD.

If after completing the setup, the Wireless light does not come on, log in to the wireless USB print
server and verify that the wireless feature is turned on.

Follow the setup instructions in the manual on the CD.
