Q: My 11N Broadband Router cannot connect to the ISP?
A: There are three possible solutions. 1. Check the Cable/XDSL modem is power on. 2. Check the Cable/XDSL link light is on to verify a good physical connection. 3. Check the WAN port LED to verify if the Cable/XDSL modem is connected to the router:
If your ISP Login method is following, please make sure the username and password are correct or not. If your ISP is using dynamic IP addressing (DHCP) then the DHCP protocol does not have the authentication feature. Some Cable service providers often use the following to determine users identification. 6. Q: Why is that I can ping to outside hosts, but cannot access Internet websites?
A: Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS servers settings from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove any DNS IP address setting. As the router assign the DNS settings to the DHCP-client-enabled PC. 7. Q: 11n Broadband Router couldnt save the setting after click on Apply button?
A: 11n Broadband Router will start to run after the setting finished applying, but the setting isnt written into memory. Here we suggest if you want to make sure the setting would be written into memory, please reboot the device via Reboot under System Management directory. 96 7.6 Wireless LAN 1. Q: Why couldnt my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?
A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up, particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go over some of more common ones. For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it can provide this unique identifier. This is similar to the function of your network's Workgroup or Domain name. When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep things simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP encryption you might have configured. Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared key. A HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This key identifies the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this network. Different manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways that might prevent them from working correctly with another vendor's products. So pay attention to detail is going to be the key to a successful installation. Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default channel can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm that the router has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If not, the NIC won't be able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few access points that offer DHCP services but do not assign all of the needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I was able to connect to the network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't assume anything. Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being received by the workstation. Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the same room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to minimize potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams. 97 2. Q: My PC cant locate the Wireless Access Point. A: Check the following:
Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode.)
The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example Workgroup does NOT match workgroup.
Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP disabled. If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled, and the key must match. If the Wireless Routers Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to selected Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been selected, or access will be blocked.
To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments. 3. Q: Wireless connection speed is very slow. A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with following:
Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access Point.
Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.
Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any noisy devices should be shielded or relocated.
RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Access Point. 4. Q: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router. 98 A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but:
It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
Only one (1) PC can use this feature. 5. Q: I cant connect to the Wireless Router to configure it. A: Check the following:
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.
Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment. If your PC is set to Obtain an IP Address automatically (DHCP client), restart it. If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible with the Wireless Routers default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol. 6. Q: The WinXP wireless interface couldnt communicate the WEP with 11n Broadband Routers wireless interface. A: The default WEP of WinXP is Authentication Open System - WEP, but the WEP of 11n Broadband Router is only for Shared Key - WEP, it caused both sides couldnt communicate. Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication Open System to Pre-shared Key - WEP, and then the WEP wireless interface between WinXP and 11n Broadband Router would be communicated. 7.7 Support 1. Q: What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the XDSL Router will support?
A: The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode. 5. Q: Is the Router cross-platform compatible?
A: Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the Router. 99 7.8 Others 1. Q: Why cant I receive corrupted FTP downloads?
A: If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download a file with your FTP client, try using another FTP program. 2. Q: Why does the router dial out for PPPoE mode very often?
A: Normally some of game, music or anti-virus program will send out packets that trigger the router to dial out, you can close these programs. Or you can set the idle time to 0, then control to dial out manually. 3. Q: What can I do if there is already a DHCP server in LAN?
A: If there are two DHCP servers existing on the same network, it may cause conflict and generate trouble. In this situation, we suggest to disable DHCP server in router and configure your PC manually. 7.9 USB Device 1. Q: How many USB devices can be connected to the Product?
A: 11n Broadband Router supports maximum of 1 USB ports. 100 Chapter 8 Appendices 8.1 Operating Systems 1. MicrosoftWindows 2000, XP, Vista 32bit and the following related versions. 2.
