Troubleshooting Tips

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
1. Turn off the DGFV114G and shut down the computer.

Make sure the network cables are securely plugged in.
• The DSL Internet status light on the wireless ADSL gateway will be lit if the phone
cable to the ADSL outlet is plugged in securely, the wireless ADSL gateway turned
on and synchronized to the ADSL network.
• For each powered on computer connected to the wireless ADSL gateway with a
securely plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding wireless ADSL gateway
Ethernet port status light will be lit. The front of the DGFV114G identifies the
number of each Ethernet (LAN) port.
Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
Computers should be configured to obtain IP addresses automatically via DHCP. For help
with this, please see the links in the appendix of the Reference Manual.
Use the DGFV114G status lights to verify correct operation.
If the DGFV114G Test light does not go out within two minutes of turning the router on,
reset the router as described in the Reference Manual.
Make sure the computer and DGFV114G wireless settings
match exactly.
The Wireless Network Name (SSID) and security settings (WEP/WPA, MAC access
