5. FAQ 1. I cannot access the Web-based Configuration Utility from the Ethernet computer used to configure the router. ¾ Check that the LAN LED is on. If the LED is not on, verify that the cable for the LAN connection is firmly connected. ¾ Check whether the computer resides on the same subnet with the router’s LAN IP address. ¾ If the computer acts as a DHCP client, check whether the computer has been assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. If not, you will need to renew the IP address.
as required by the ISP. Also ensure you have entered the correct settings provided by the ISP. ¾ For cable users, if your ISP requires a registered Ethernet card MAC address, make sure you have cloned the network adapter’ s MAC address to the WAN port of the router. (See the MAC Address field in WAN Setup.) 5. My wireless client cannot communicate with another Ethernet computer. ¾ Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly.
