File-Sharing Scenarios
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational
purposes. The files can be any PC, Mac, or Linux file type including text files, Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, pictures, and multimedia. USB drive applications include:
• Sharing multimedia with friends and family such as MP3 files, pictures, and other
multimedia with local and remote users.
• Sharing resources on your network. You might want to store files in a central location so
that you do not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you
can share files between Macintosh, Linux, and PC computers by using the USB drive as
a go-between across the systems.
• Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with
remote users.
A few common uses are described in the following sections.
Sharing Photos
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This eliminates
the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
To share files with your friends and family:
1. Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the modem router either directly or with a
USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive
using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.
2. If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see Approved
USB Devices (Advanced USB Settings) on page 74.
Storing Files in a Central Location for Printing
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print
server.
• One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
• The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a PC, but not shared on the
network.
• The Mac and PC are not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a PC:
1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2. On the PC, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive
to the PC. Then print the files.

Sharing Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
modem router allows you to share very large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip
files over the Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the modem
router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
• There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the modem router. By default, it is password. The guest user
account has no password.
• On the FTP site, the person receiving the files should use the guest user account and
enter any password (FTP requires that you type something in the password field).
• Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage Advanced Settings
screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.

WAN Setup
Select Advanced > WAN Setup to display the following screen:
The following settings are available:
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. The firewall protects your LAN against port
scans and denial of service (DoS) attacks. This protection should be disabled only in
special circumstances.
• Default DMZ Server. The default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when
you use online games and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with
NAT. See Default DMZ Server on page 79.
• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the modem router to respond to a ping
from the Internet, select this check box. This should be used only as a diagnostic tool,
because it allows your modem router to be discovered. Do not select this check box
unless you have a specific reason to do so.
• MTU Size (in bytes). The normal Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) value for most Ethernet
networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you might
need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you
are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.
• NAT Filtering. By default NAT filtering is used.
• Disable SIP ALG. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Level Gateway (ALG)
is enabled by default to optimize VoIP phone calls that use the SIP. The Disable SIP ALG
check box allows you to disable the SIP ALG. Disabling the SIP ALG might be useful
when running certain applications.
• Disable IGMP Proxying. The IGPM Proxying feature lets a LAN PC receive the multicast
traffic pertaining to it from the Internet. Selecting this check box prevents this from occur i
ng.
Advanced Settings
79
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
Default DMZ Server
The default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when you use online games
and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The modem router is
programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but
there are other applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer
can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ
server.
Note: For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ server
feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ server,
it loses much of the protection of the firewall. If compromised via the
Internet, the computer can be used to attack your network.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is usually discarded by the modem router unless the traffic
is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the
Ports screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on
your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.
To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server:
1. In the WAN Setup screen, select the Default DMZ Server check box.
2. Type the IP address for that server and click Apply.

N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
Dynamic DNS
If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name that
is linked to your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). More commonly, Internet
accounts have dynamically assigned IP addresses in which the IP addresses change
frequently. In this case, use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to its
IP address and forward traffic directed at your domain to your current IP address.
The modem router has a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. Once
you set up Dynamic DNS in the modem router, when your IP address changes, your modem
router contacts your Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and registers
your new IP address.
To set up Dynamic DNS:
1. Select Advanced > Dynamic DNS to display the following screen.
2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in
the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account. For example, for
dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.
3. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box.
4. Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
5. Type the host name that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you. This is sometimes
called the domain name. If your URL is myName.dyndns.org, your host name is myName.
6. Type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account.
7. Type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account.
8. If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can
select the Use Wildcards check box to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard
feature causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as
yourhost.dyndns.org.
9. Click Apply to save your settings.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the
Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the
Internet.

N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
LAN Setup
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and Routing
Information Protocol (RIP). The modem router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP
addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP
configuration is as follows:
• LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the private address range designated by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF http://www.ietf.org/) for use in private networks, and should be
suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN Setup screen.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the modem router while
connected through the browser, you are disconnected. To
reconnect, open a new connection to the new IP address and log in.
To change the LAN settings:
1. Select Advanced > LAN Setup.
2. Enter the LAN Setup configuration and click Apply to save your changes.

82
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
• IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router.
• IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to
it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router.
• RIP Direction.
• RIP Version.
• Use Router as DHCP Server. By default, the modem router is a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the modem router’s LAN. The assigned
default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router. IP addresses are
assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool
address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem router are
satisfactory.
• Reserved IP Addresses Setup. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer
on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses
the modem router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers
that require permanent IP settings.
IP Address Reservation
To reserve an IP address:
1. Select Advanced > LAN Setup and click the Add button.
2. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an
IP
address from the modem router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.
3. Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip: If the computer is already on your network, copy its MAC address from
the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer
contacts the modem router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its
IP configuration to force a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1. Select the radio button next to the reserved address that you want to edit or delete.
2. Click Edit or Delete.

Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of
traffic ahead of others. The modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless
link and on the Internet connection.
The modem router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize
wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides prioritization of
wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice,
video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS,
both it and the client running that application have to have WMM enabled. Legacy
applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require QoS, are
assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.
To set up QoS:
1. Select Advanced > QoS Setup.
2. Click Setup QoS rule. The QoS Priority Rule list displays:

N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
Note: The http:// has to be included in the address.
Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your modem router. Under normal
circumstances, the modem router has adequate routing information after it has been
configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You
configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets
located on your network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A
default route was created with your ISP as the modem router, and a second static route was
created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router forwards your
request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed,
and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you need to define a static route, telling your modem router that 134.177.0.0
should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
Advanced Settings
89
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
In this example:
• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses is to be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
• The value in the Metric field represents the number of routers between your network and
the destination. This is a direct connection, so it can be set to the minimum value of 2.
• The Private check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP
is activated.
To add a static route:
1. Select Advanced > Static Routes to display the following screen:
2. Click Add to open the following screen.
3. Fill in the fields:
• In the Route Name field, enter a route name for this static route. This name is for
identification purpose only.
• Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be
reported in RIP.
• Select Active to make this route effective.
• Enter the destination IP address of the final destination.
• Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255.
• Enter the gateway IP address, which has to be a router on the same LAN segment as
the modem router.
Advanced Settings
90
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
• In the Metric field, enter a number between 2 and 15 as the metric value. This
represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually,
a setting of 2 or 3 works.
4. Click Apply to save your changes. The Static Routes table is updated to show the new
entry.
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
To set up UPnP:
1. Select Advanced > UPnP to display the following screen:
2. Specify the settings as follows:
• Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If UPnP is disabled, the modem router does
not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the modem router.
• Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the modem router
advertises (broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440
minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points
have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer
durations might compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly
reduce network traffic.
• Advertisement Time to Live. This is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement
before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value
is 4 hops, which works for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are
not being updated or reached correctly, you might need to increase this value a little.
• UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is currently accessing the modem router and which ports (internal
and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what
type of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address.

Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks
Note: If you want to use the Wireless Repeating feature, you have to go to
the Wireless Settings screen and change the wireless security
setting of the router to WEP or None, and you have to change the
Channel field to a different setting than Auto, which is the default.
For more information, see Wireless Settings Screen on page 33.
With the modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an
IEEE
802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other
access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients using their MAC
addresses rather than IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged
configurations:
• Point-to-point bridge. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless station. See Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge on page 94.
• Multi-point bridge. The modem router is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points. See Set
Up a Multi-Point Bridge on page 95.
• Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See Repeater with Wireless Client Association on page 96.
The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and
receive traffic.

Figure 12. Front panel LEDs
Power LED Is Off
If the Power and other LEDs are off when your modem router is turned on:
• Check that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and the power
supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.
• Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this
product.
If the error persists, you could have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR
Technical Support.
Power LED Is Red
When the modem router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test. If the Power LED turns
red after a few seconds or at any other time during normal operation, there is a fault within the
modem router.
Troubleshooting
101
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
If the Power LED turns red to indicate a modem router fault, turn the power off and on to see
if the modem router recovers. If the power LED is still red 1 minute after power-up:
• Turn the power off and on one more time to see if the modem router recovers.
• Clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults as explained in Factory
Settings on page 109. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1.
If the error persists, you could have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR
Technical Support.
LAN LED Is Off
If the appropriate LAN LED does not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the
following:
• The Ethernet cable connections are secure at the modem router and at the hub or
workstation.
• The power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.
• You are using the correct cable.
Cannot Log In to the Wireless-N Modem Router
If you are unable to log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network, check
the following:
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the modem router as described in the previous section.
• Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the modem router.
If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should
be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
• If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and
MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP
server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP
address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router,
and reboot your computer.
• If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP
address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the modem
router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Factory Settings in
Appendix A.
• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter
this information.

N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
Troubleshooting the Internet Connection
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, you should check the ADSL
connection, then the WAN TCP/IP connection.
ADSL Link
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you
have an ADSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the
Internet LED.
ADSL Link LED Is Green
If your ADSL link LED is green, then you have a good ADSL connection. You can be
confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is
correct.
ADSL Link LED Is Blinking Green
If your ADSL link LED is blinking green, then your modem router is attempting to make an
ADSL connection with the service provider. The LED should turn green within several
minutes.
If the ADSL link LED does not turn green, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves
the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each
telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your
telephones.
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL link LED, there might be a
problem with your wiring. If the telephone company has tested the ADSL signal at your
network interface device (NID), then you might have poor-quality wiring in your house.
ADSL Link LED Is Off
If the ADSL link LED is off, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem,
reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each telephone. If
the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones.
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL link LED, check for the following:
• Check that the telephone company has made the connection to your line and tested it.
• Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If you have more than one
phone line, be sure that you are connected to the line with the ADSL service. It might be
necessary to use a swapper if your ADSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 or the RJ-11 jack. The
modem router uses pins 2 and 3.
Troubleshooting
103
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
Internet LED Is Red
If the Internet LED is red, the device was unable to connect to the Internet. Verify the
following:
• Check that your login credentials are correct, or that the information you entered on the
Basic Settings screen is correct.
• Check with your ISP to verify that the multiplexing method, VPI, and VCI settings on the
ADSL settings screen are correct.
• Check if your ISP has a problem—it might not be that the modem router cannot connect
to the Internet but, rather that your ISP that cannot provide an Internet connection.
Obtaining an Internet IP Address
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, and your Internet LED is green, you
should determine whether the modem router is able to obtain an Internet IP address from the
ISP. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address, your modem router requests an IP
address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the
browser interface.
To check the Internet IP address from the browser interface:
1. Launch your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com.
2. Access the main menu of the modem router’s configuration at http://192.168.0.1.
3. In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Router Status and check that an IP address
is shown for the WAN port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your modem router has not obtained an IP
address from your ISP.
If your modem router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be
one of the following:
• If you have selected a login program, the service name, user name, or password might be
incorrectly set. See the following section, Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoA .
• Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name. Assign the computer host name of
your ISP account to the modem router in the browser-based Setup Wizard.
• Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and might check
for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:
-Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the
modem router’s MAC address.
-Configure your modem router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. This can be
done in the Basic Settings screen.
Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoA
The PPPoE or PPPoA connection can be debugged as follows:
1. Access the main menu of the modem router at http://192.168.0.1.
Troubleshooting
104
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
2. Select Maintenance > Router Status.
3. Click the Connection Status button.
4. If all of the steps indicate OK, then your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is up and working.
5. If any of the steps indicates Failed, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The
modem router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name,
user name, or password. There also might be a provisioning problem with your ISP.
Note: Unless you connect manually, the modem router will not
authenticate using PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the
network.
Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your modem router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any Web
pages from the Internet:
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP
addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address when you set up the modem
router, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can
configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating
system documentation.
• Your computer might not have the modem router configured as its TCP/IP modem router.
If your computer obtains its information from the modem router by DHCP, reboot the
computer, and verify the modem router address.
TCP/IP Network Not Responding
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers have a ping utility for sending an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device responds with an echo reply to tell whether a
TCP/IP network is responding to requests.
Test the LAN Path to Your Modem Router
You can ping the modem router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your
modem router is set up correctly.
Troubleshooting
105
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
To ping the modem router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:
1. From the Windows task bar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the modem router, as in this
example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections
- Make sure that the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in
LAN LED Is Off on page 101.
- Check that the corresponding link LEDs are on for your network interface card
and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and modem
router.
• Wrong network configuration
- Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both
installed and configured on your PC or workstation.
- Verify that the IP address for your modem router and your workstation are correct
and that the addresses are on the same subnet.
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After you verify that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote
device. In the Windows Run screen, type:
ping -n 10 IP address
where IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as described in Test the LAN Path to Your Modem
Router on page 104 display. If you do not receive replies:
• Check that your PC has the IP address of your modem router listed as the default modem
router. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not
visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the modem
router is listed as the default router.
Troubleshooting
106
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
• Check that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the
netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
• Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
• If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the account name
in the Basic Settings screen.
• Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many
broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your
modem, but some additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC
connected to that modem. In this case, configure your modem router to clone or spoof the
MAC address from the authorized PC.
Cannot Log in
If you cannot log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network, check the
following:
• The modem router is plugged in and it is on.
• You are using the correct login information. The login name is admin, and the password is
password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.
• If you cannot connect wirelessly, try an Ethernet connection and view the modem router
wireless settings and set up your wireless computer with corresponding wireless settings.
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the modem router. The LAN LED for the port you are using on
the modem router should light up to show your connection.
• Your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the modem router. If you are using
the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
• If the computer IP address is 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and Mac OS
generate and assign an IP address when the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. The
auto-generated addresses are in the range 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this
range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router and reboot your
computer.
• If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP
address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults as explained in
Factory Settings on page 109. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1.
• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try closing the browser and relaunching it.
Changes Not Saved
If the modem router does not save the changes you make in the modem router interface,
check the following:
Troubleshooting
107
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3
• When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes might have
occurred, but the old settings might be in the Web browser’s cache.
Incorrect Date or Time
Select Security > Schedule to display the current date and time. The modem router uses the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time
servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day.
Problems with the date and time function can include the following:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000. This means the modem router has not yet successfully
reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If
you have just finished setting up the modem router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the
date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour. The modem router does not automatically sense daylight savings
time. In the Schedule screen, select the Adjust for daylight savings time check box.
