Troubleshooting 7-13
v1.0, May 2008
9. Make sure that the Enable Wireless Router Radio and Enable SSID Broadcast check boxes
are selected.
10. Click Setup Access List.
11. Make sure that the Turn Access Control On check box is not selected.
12. Configure and test your wireless computer for wireless connectivity.
Program the wireless adapter of your computer to have the same SSID and channel that you
specified in the router, and disable encryption. Check that your computer has a wireless link
and can obtain an IP address by DHCP from the router.
Once your computer has basic wireless connectivity to the router, you can configure the advanced
wireless security functions of the computer and router (for more information about security, see
Chapter 2, “Safeguarding Your Network”).
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router’s administration password back to password. You can erase the current configuration and
restore factory defaults in two ways:
• Use the Erase function of the router (see “Erasing the Configuration” on page 6-8).
• Use the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases
when the administration password or IP address is not known.
To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the administration
password or IP address, you must use the restore settings button on the rear panel of the router.
1. Press and hold the restore settings button for 10 seconds.
2. Release the restore settings button, and wait for the router to reboot.
If the wireless router fails to restart, or the Power light continues to blink or turns solid amber, the
unit might be defective. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should
contact Technical Support at http://www.netgear.com/support.
