Troubleshooting

I am experiencing poor link quality in some areas of my home or office.
Possible Solution:
You might be encountering interference from walls or other structures that is lowering your link
quality. Try placing your 5430 at a higher location, such as a higher shelf, or repositioning it in a
different area of your room or office. You may also be experiencing interference from other wire-
less devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, security alarms, etc. You may need to make
sure other wireless devices are not being used while you are using your network.
Possible Solution:
Try changing channels on both your 5430 and your wireless router. For more information regard-
ing the use of channels, refer to your wireless router's documentation. To change and select the
channel of your choice, access the Web User Interface by opening an Internet browser and enter-
ing http://192.168.1.201 in the address field. Select Wireless from the Menu bar. Select the cor-
responding channel from the Channel pull-down menu and click Save. Be sure the channel
selected on your 5430 matches the channel on your wireless router.
I am unable to access the 5430's Web User Interface pages.
Possible Solution:
To access the Web User Interface pages, you must put the 5430 in Configuration Mode. To do so,
insert a pin or paperclip to press the reset button less than 5 seconds. The reset button is located
on the back of the 5430. Open an Internet browser and enter http://192.168.1.201
Possible Solution:
Verify that the power light is blue. If the power light is not blue, verify your AC power adapter is
properly connected and that your Ethernet cable is properly connected as well.
How can I tell what network I'm associated to?
Possible Solution:
To determine what network you're associated to, access the Web User Interface by opening an
Internet browser and entering http://192.168.1.201 in the address field. Select Client mode and
click Next. The settings of the network you are associated to will appear. These settings must
match the settings of your wireless router. Refer to the wireless router's documentation to check
your network settings.
