• Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If the
IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your
computer's Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the
default gateway as described in the online document you can access from
Network" in Appendix
• Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified
by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
• Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
• If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account name
in the Basic Settings screen.
• Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers.
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your
broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single
computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to
"clone" or "spoof" the MAC address from the authorized computer.

Problems with Date and Time

Under Content Filtering in the main menu, select E-mail to display a screen that shows the current
date and time of day. The WNDR3300 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the
current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is
stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the
following:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your
Internet access is configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait
at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not adjust for daylight savings time. In the E-mail screen, select the
Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
