I cannot access the Web-based Configuration Utility from the Ethernet computer used to configure the router. ¾ Check that the LAN LED is on. If the LED is not on, verify that the cable for the LAN connection is firmly connected. ¾ Check whether the computer resides on the same subnet with the router’s LAN IP address. ¾ If the computer acts as a DHCP client, check whether the computer has been assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. If not, you will need to renew the IP address. ¾ Use the ping command to ping the router’s LAN IP address to verify the connection. ¾ Make sure your browser is not configured to use a proxy server. ¾ Check that the IP address you entered is correct. If the router’s LAN IP address has been changed, you should enter the reassigned IP address instead. 2. I forget Password (Reset the Router without Login) ¾ Plug out the power of the Router. ¾ Use a pencil to press and hold the default button on the back panel of the Router. Then plug in the power of the Router. ¾ Press and hold the default button wait for a few seconds until the CPU LED indicator stays green. ¾ Reboot the AP. ¾ After the above those steps, the manufacture’s parameters will be restored in the Router. The default password is guest. 3. I have some problems related to Connection with Cable Modem Please follow the following steps to check the problems: ¾ Check whether the DSL modem works well or the signal is stable. Normally there will be some indicator lights on the modem, users can check whether the signal is ok or the modem works well from those lights. If not, please contact the ISP. ¾ Check the front panel of the Router, there are also some indicator lights there. When the physical connection is correct, the Power light and the CPU light should be solid; the WAN light should be blinking. If you use your computer, the corresponding LAN port light should be blinking too. If not, please check whether the cables work or not. ¾ Repeat the steps in WAN Setup Connect with Internet through DSL Modem. 4. I can browse the router’s Web-based Configuration Utility but cannot access the Internet. ¾ Check if the WAN LED is ON. If not, verify that the physical connection between the router and the DSL/Cable modem is firmly connected. Also ensure the DSL/Cable modem is working properly. ¾ If WAN LED is ON, open the System Overview page of the Web configuration utility and check the status group to see if the router’ s WAN port has successfully obtained an IP address. ¾ Make sure you are using the correction method (Dynamic IP Address, PPPoE, or Static IP) as required by the ISP. Also ensure you have entered the correct settings provided by the ISP. ¾ For cable users, if your ISP requires a registered Ethernet card MAC address, make sure you have cloned the network adapter’ s MAC address to the WAN port of the router. (See the MAC Address field in WAN Setup.) 5. My wireless client cannot communicate with another Ethernet computer. ¾ Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly. You may open the Device Manager in Windows to see if the adapter is properly installed. ¾ Make sure the wireless client uses the same SSID and security settings (if enabled) as the NW725P. ¾ Ensure that the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP settings are correct as required by your network administrator. ¾ If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, and check that the 802.11G Mode item in Wireless Basic Setting page, is not configured to use 802.11G Performance. ¾ Use the ping command to verify that the wireless client is able to communicate with the router’s LAN port and with the remote computer. If the wireless client can successfully ping the router’ s LAN port but fails to ping the remote computer, then verify the TCP/IP settings of the remote computer.
