Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting common problems you may encounter.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
1. Turn off the DGFV114G and shut down the computer.
2. Wait two minutes.
3. Turn on the DGFV114G. Wait one minute.
4. Turn on the computer.
Make sure the network cables are securely plugged in.
• The DSL Internet status light on the wireless ADSL gateway will be lit if the phone
cable to the ADSL outlet is plugged in securely, the wireless ADSL gateway turned
on and synchronized to the ADSL network.
• For each powered on computer connected to the wireless ADSL gateway with a
securely plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding wireless ADSL gateway
Ethernet port status light will be lit. The front of the DGFV114G identifies the
number of each Ethernet (LAN) port.
Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
Computers should be configured to obtain IP addresses automatically via DHCP. For help
with this, please see the links in the appendix of the Reference Manual.
Use the DGFV114G status lights to verify correct operation.
If the DGFV114G Test light does not go out within two minutes of turning the router on,
reset the router as described in the Reference Manual.
Make sure the computer and DGFV114G wireless settings
match exactly.
The Wireless Network Name (SSID) and security settings (WEP/WPA, MAC access
control list) of the DGFV114G and wireless computer must match exactly.

Regulatory Approvals
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
(Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral
devices).
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Channel
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
•Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to
choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA
and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent
Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an
Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest
signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)
• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the
same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there
is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
Note:This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on 2.4G channel 1-11
