If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the router as described in the previous section.

of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
•
If your computer's IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and
Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server.

this range, check the connection from the computer to the router, and reboot your
computer.

gateway in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services. For
example, the router cannot convert ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking
