ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP210 Reference Manual
Troubleshooting 6-3
v1.0, February 2009
• The computer with the wireless adapter may not have the correct TCP/IP settings to
communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up properly
for that network. The usual setting for Windows on the Network Properties is set to “Obtain an
IP address automatically.”
• The wireless access point’s default values may not work with your network. Check the
wireless access point’s default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your
network.
• For full instructions on changing the wireless access point’s default values, see Chapter 2,
“Installation and Configuration” and Chapter 3, “Wireless Security Settings”.
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a timeout error.
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.
• Check whether other computers work. If they do, ensure that your computer’s IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway settings are correct. If using a DNS Server, check the
Primary and Secondary DNS Server Addresses.
• If the computers are configured correctly, but still not working, ensure that the WNAP210 is
connected and turned on. Connect to it and check its settings. If you cannot connect to it, check
the LAN and power connections.
• If the WNAP210 is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem,
etc.) to make sure that it is working.
•Try again.
• When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to
another menu or tab, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but
the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.

• Reboot: When pressed and released quickly, the WNAP210 will reboot (restart).
