From the Windows run menu, type:
ping -n 10 <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP's DNS
server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed.
If you do not receive replies:
— Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default router.
If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be
visible in your PC's Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router
is listed as the default router.
— Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address
specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote
device.
— Check that your modem is connected and functioning.
— If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account
Name in the Basic Settings menu.
— Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your
PCs.
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by only allowing traffic from the MAC
address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to
the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem.
If this is the case, you must configure your router to "clone" or "spoof" the MAC
address from the authorized PC.
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings,
changing the router's administration password to password and the IP address to
192.168.1.1.
You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
In Tools-> System Commands -> Restore Defaults.
Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for
cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.
Using the Reset button
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration
password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of
the router.
1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until all LED turns off (about 6 seconds).
2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
