Troubleshooting - D-Link RANGEBOOSTER N DSL-2740B Quick Installation Manual

Troubleshooting

1. How do I configure my DSL-2740B router without the CD, or check my
Wireless Network Name (SSID) and Wireless Encryption Key?
• Connect your PC to the router using an Ethernet cable.
• Open a web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.1
• The default username is 'admin'. The default password is also 'admin'.
• If you have changed the password and can not remember it, you will need to reset
the router to the factory default setting (steps in question 2), which will set the
password back to 'admin'.
2. How do I reset my router to factory default settings?
• Ensure the router is powered on.
• Press and hold the reset button on the rear of the device for 10~15 seconds.
Note: Resetting the router to factory default will erase the current configuration
settings. To re-configure your settings, log into the router as outlined in question 1,
then run the Setup Wizard.
3. How do I add a new wireless client or PC if I have forgotten my Wireless
Network Name (SSID) or Wireless Encryption Key?
• For every PC that needs to connect to the router wirelessly, you will need to
ensure you use the same Wireless Network Name (SSID) and encryption key as
the DSL router has.
• Use the web based user interface (as described in question 1 above) to check or
choose your wireless settings.
• Make sure you take a note of the settings so that you can enter them into each
wirelessly connected PC. D-Link has provided a handy sticker for you to note
them down and attach to your router, or other location you find most convenient.
4. What can I do if my router is not working correctly?
• The manual contains a full troubleshooting section and can be downloaded from
the D-Link website (see below), however there are a few quick steps you can take
to try and resolve any issues:
• Check the LED's on the front of the router. The Power, WLAN, DSL and Internet
LED should be on. One or more of the LAN LED should flash.
• Check that all the cables are firmly connected at both ends.
• Power the router off for 20 seconds, and then power it back on.
5. Why can I not get an Internet Connection?
• For ADSL ISP users please contact your ISP to make sure the service has been
enabled/connected by your ISP and that your ISP username and password are
correct.
