• Make sure that you are using the correct login information.
Use the user name admin and your customized local device password, also referred
to as the admin password. When you used the Setup Wizard for the initial log-in
process on the access point, you customized the local device password. (By default,
the local device password is password.) The user name and password are
case-sensitive. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.
• Make sure that you log in using http://www.routerlogin.net (which, in router mode,
is the same as 192.168.1.1).
• Make sure that the IP address of your computer or mobile device is on the same
subnet as the LAN subnet of the access point. If you are using the default addressing
scheme, your device's address is in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Most
computers and mobile devices function as DHCP clients. If your computer or mobile
device does not, enable its DHCP client so that is can obtain an IP address
automatically using DHCP.
Note: Some versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address
if a device cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses are in the
range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from
the device to the access point and reboot your device.

• Clear your browsing data.
• Make sure that Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX is enabled in your browser. If you are
using Internet Explorer, click the Refresh button to be sure that the Java applet is
loaded.
