Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoA
The PPPoE or PPPoA connection can be debugged as follows:
1. Access the main menu of the router at http://192.168.0.1.
2. Under the Maintenance heading, select Router Status.
3. Click the Connection Status button.
4. If all of the steps indicate "OK" then your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is up and working.
5. If any of the steps indicates "Failed", you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The
wireless modem router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you may be using an incorrect service name, user
name, or password. There also may be a provisioning problem with your ISP.
Unless you connect manually, the wireless modem router will not authenticate using
PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the network.
Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your wireless modem router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any
Web pages from the Internet:
•
Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses)
to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS
servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the wireless modem router's
configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address as described in
Computer for Network Access" on page
manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.
•
Your computer may not have the wireless ADSL modem router configured as its TCP/IP
default gateway.
If your computer obtains its information from the wireless modem router by DHCP, reboot the
computer and verify the wireless modem router address as described in
