Chapter 5 Q & A Installation Q: Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network? A: In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN. Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub (switch or computer).
IP Address Q: What is the default IP address of the router for LAN port? A: The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Q: I don't know my WAN IP. A: There are two ways to know. Way 1: Check with your Internet Service Provider.
Page 84
A: Possible Solution 1: Make sure that your Ethernet connect properly and securely. Make sure that you've plugged in the power cord. Possible Solution 2: Make sure that your PC is using an IP address within the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Make sure that the address of the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
6. Click on OK button. Web page hangs, corrupt downloads, or nothing but junk characters is being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do? A: Force your NIC to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Auto-negotiate" feature of your NIC as a temporary measure.
Page 86
192.168.1.1 in the website blank field > Select DHCP Server under the IP Config Menu. For more information, please refer to 3.3.2 (Router Mode) or 4.3.1 (AP Mode). Q: How do I upgrade the firmware of 11N Broadband Router? A: Periodically, a new Flash Code is available for 11N Broadband Router on your product supplier’s website.
Wireless LAN Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking? A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up, particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go over some of more common ones.
Page 88
Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point. A: Check the following: Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode.) The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive.
A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
A: Maybe your USB devices and 11N Broadband Router are not compatible. So if you want to know whether your inserted device such as USB Web Camera, USB Printer or USB HDD corresponds with 11N Broadband Router, please check with your product supplier.
