Check the Internet connection status

To check the Internet connection status:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways
• Connect directly to the AP's WiFi network or LAN. (Applies to the AP in either
operation mode.)
• Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to. (Applies only if the AP
is operating in AP mode.)
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 32.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Dismiss a browser security warning on page 38.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
5. In the Internet Port pane (in router mode) or in the LAN Port pane (in access point
mode), click the CONNECTION STATUS button.
The Connection Status pop-up window displays.
The information that displays depends on whether the AP is in router mode (the
default system mode) or access point mode and on the type of Internet connection.
When the AP receives an IP address dynamically (which is the most common type
of connection), the following information displays:
• IP Address. The IP address that is assigned to the AP.
In access point mode, the IP address is a LAN IP address. In router mode, the IP
address is a WAN IP address.
• Subnet Mask. The subnet mask that is assigned to the AP.
• Default Gateway. The IP address for the default gateway that the AP
communicates with.
