20 SYSTEM TOOLSThe System Tools section enables you to manage your Wireless SOHO APand view information related to unit functions. The following functions are describedin this chapter.Load Default Settings: Restore settings to factory default.Firmware Upgrade: Upgrade the firmware with a latest version.Reset the Device: Reboot the Wireless SOHO AP.
21TroubleshootingBasic FunctionsMy Wireless SOHO AP Router will not turn on. No LED’s light up.Cause: The power is not connected.Resolution: Connect the power adapter to your SOHO AP Router and plug it into the poweroutlet.Note: Only use the power adapter provided with your SOHO AP Router. Using anyother adapter may damage your SOHO AP Router.LAN Connection ProblemsI can’t access my SOHO AP Router.Cause: The unit is not powered on. There is not a network connection. The computer you are using does not have a compatible IP Address.Resolution: Make sure your SOHO AP Router is powered on. Use the WINIPCFG utility described in the appendix to make sure that yourcomputer has a compatible IP Address. If your IP Address is not set correctlyand you are using DHCP, use WINIPCFG to renew your IP Address. Otherwise,make correct changes to your Windows network settings. Make sure that the IPAddress used on your computer is set to the same subnet as the Router. Forexample, if the Router is set to 192.168.2.1, change the IP address of yourcomputer to 192.168.2.15 or another unique IP Address that corresponds to the192.168.2.X subnet. Use the Reset button located on the front of your Router to revert to the default settings.
22I can’t connect to other computers on my LAN.Cause: The IP Addresses of the computers are not set correctly. Network cables are not connected properly. Windows network settings are not set correctly.Resolution: Make sure that each computer has a unique IP Address. If using DHCP throughthe SOHO AP Router, makes sure that each computer is set to “Obtain an IPAddress automatically” and restart the computer. Use the WINIPCFG and PINGutilities described in the appendix to make sure that you can connect to eachcomputer. Make sure that the Link LED is on. If it is not, try a different network cable. Check each computer for correct network settings.ISP Connection ProblemsI can access the Wireless SOHO AP Router, but I can’tconnect to my ISP.Cause: Your DSL or Cable modem is not functioning correctly. The cable is connected from the WAN port of the Wireless SOHO AP Router toyour DSL or Cable modem. The wrong connection type is used in Setup. The username and password is not input correctly.Resolution: Make sure that your DSL or Cable modem is running correctly and connected tothe WAN port of the Broadband Router. Make sure that the right connection type is used in the web configuration. Make sure that the username and password used in the connection type iscorrect. Some ISP's do not care if you share your broadband connection among multipleusers. Other ISP's will explicitly restrict this type of activity in your servicecontract. It is important that you verify that you are in accordance with yourservice agreement before sharing Internet access.
23Wireless TroubleshootingI can’t access the Wireless SOHO AP Router from a wireless network cardCause: Settings are not the same among each wireless adapter. Out of range. IP Address is not set correctly.Resolution: Make sure that the Mode, SSID, Channel and encryption settings are set thesame on each wireless adapter. Make sure that your computer is within range and free from any strong electricaldevices that may cause interference. Check your IP Address to make sure that it is compatible with the WirelessSOHO Router.Performing a Factory ResetFollow these steps to perform a Factory Reset using the Reset button on theback of the Wireless SOHO AP.1. With the unit on, press and hold the Reset button with a pen or paper clip.2. Hold the reset button for about 5 or 6 seconds until the Power/Test LED onthe front panel blinks very quickly and then release.3. Wait a few seconds for the Broadband Router to reboot using defaultsettings.A Factory Reset can also be performed through the web configuration interface.Follow these steps to perform a factory reset using the web configuration interface.1. Log-in to the Wireless SOHO AP Router web configuration interface.2. Click on the System Management link at the bottom of the screen.3. Click on Restore Default Settings.4.
