Click the Apply button. Your changes are saved.Block Services from the InternetServices are functions that server computers perform at the request of client computers. For example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, a port number identifies the requested service. This number displays as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web server) request. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/) defines service numbers for many common protocols and they are published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.” Authors of the applications typically choose service numbers from the range 1024–65535. Although the router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. You can often find port number information by contacting the publisher of the application, by asking user groups or newsgroups, or by searching.The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet services by computers on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for blocking, first find out which port number or range of numbers the application uses.

If the router cannot email the log and the log buffer fills up, the router overwrites the log.Port Forwarding to Permit External Host CommunicationsIn both the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature. A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer’s browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at 192.168.0.123.”
Control Access to the Internet30U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your router. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information:•Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your router.•Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your router.2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the handling of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.0.123. Therefore, your router modifies the destination information in the request message:The destination address is replaced with 192.168.0.123.Your router then sends this request message to your local network.3. Your web server at 192.168.0.123 receives the request and composes a return message with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your router.4. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com.To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups.Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local ServerIf you have a server in your home network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default DMZ server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.¾To forward specific incoming protocols:1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.The server computer must always have the same IP address. To specify this setting, use the reserved IP address feature. See Reserve LAN IP Addresses on page 82.

Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address reservation. In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.0.33. 2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.3. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.0.33.HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.4. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to use the name. To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user must know the IP address that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.5. Click the Apply button.
Control Access to the Internet34U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) How the Router Implements the Port Forwarding RuleThe following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:1. When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends a web page request message with the following destination information: •Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your router.•Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.2. Your router receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80 traffic. 3. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.0.123 and sends the message to that computer.4. Your web server at IP address 192.168.0.123 receives the request and sends a reply message to your router.5. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or wireless device that sent the web page request. Set Up Port TriggeringPort triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:•An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not simultaneously).•An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger” port that you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the router saves the IP address of the computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that you specify in your rule, and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they are no longer needed.Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). See Universal Plug and Play on page 69.

Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.3. Select the Port Triggering radio button.4. Click the Add Service button.5. In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name. 6. In the Service User list, select Any,or select Single address and enter the IP address of one computer.•Any (the default) allows any computer on the Internet to use this service. •Single address restricts the service to a particular computer.7. Select the service type, either TCP or UDP or TCP/UDP (both). If you are not sure, select TCP/UDP.8. In the Triggering Port field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that will trigger the inbound ports to open. 9. Enter the inbound connection port information in the Connection Type,Starting Port, and Ending Port fields.10. Click the Apply button.The service is now in the Portmap table. You must enable port triggering before the router used port triggering for the service that you added. See the following sectionEnable Port Triggering¾To enable port triggering: 1. Log in to the router.2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
Control Access to the Internet36U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) 3. Select the Port Triggering radio button.4. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box.If this check box is selected, the router does not use port triggering even if you have specified port triggering settings.5. In the Port Triggering Time-out field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes. This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router detects no activity. This value is required because the router cannot detect when the application terminates.Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port starts a session.An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you have defined:1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer. 2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then sends this request message to your router.3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server. 4. Noting your port triggering rule and observing the destination port number of 6667, your router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.
Control Access to the Internet37 U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D)5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port (for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an “identify” message to your router with destination port 113.6. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks its session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active session, the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply message to your computer.7. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks its session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your computer. The router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address and forwards the message to your computer.8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.

Click the Erase button.The factory default settings are restored. The user name is admin, the password is password, and the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1. DHCP is enabled.Static RoutesStatic routes provide more routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to add static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.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 router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, 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 router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company’s firewall is likely to deny the request.In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. 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 should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. •A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN. •Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
Administration67 U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D)¾To set up a static route:1. Log in to the router.2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes.3. Click the Add button.4. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only). 5. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP. 6. Select the Active check box to make this route effective.7. Type the IP address of the final destination. 8. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255.9. Type the gateway IP address, which must be on the same LAN segment as the router. 10. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value. This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. 11. Click the Apply button.The static route is added. ¾To edit a static route:1. Log in to the router.2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes.The Static Routes screen displays.3. In the table, select the radio button next to the route.4. Click the Edit button.The Static Routes screen adjusts.5. Edit the route information.6. Click the Apply button.

Click the Delete button.The route is removed from the table.Remote ManagementThe remote management feature lets you access your router over the Internet to view or change its settings.Be sure to change the router default login password to a secure password. The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters. See Change the admin Password on page 60.¾To set up remote management:1. Log in to the router.2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management.3. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.4. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to access the router’s remote management.Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.
Administration69 U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D)•To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select the Only This Computer radio button. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. •To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select the IP Address Range radio button. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.•To specify IP addresses, select the IP Address List radio button and enter the allowed IP addresses. •To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select the Everyone radio button.5. Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface.Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.6. Click the Apply button.Your changes take effect.7. When you access your router from the Internet, type your router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.Universal Plug and PlayUniversal 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.If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.¾To turn on Universal Plug and Play:1. Log in to the router.2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP.
Administration70U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) The UPnP screen displays. 3. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.By default, this check box is selected. You can enable or disable UPnP for automatic device configuration. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router.4. Type the advertisement period in minutes.The advertisement period specifies how often the router 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 more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.5. Type the advertisement time to live in hops.The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.6. Click the Apply button.The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.7. To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap Table, click the Refresh button.

Specify Network Settings76U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) •MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection. See .•NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall, but allows almost all Internet applications to work. 5. Click the Apply button.Your changes are saved.Change the MTU SizeThe maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or “fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU. The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value. In some situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU setting unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:•You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the ISP technical support recommends changing the MTU setting. These web-based applications might require an MTU change:-A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page-Yahoo email-MSN portal-America Online’s DSL service•You use VPN and have severe performance problems.•You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have connectivity or performance problems.Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. For instance, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500
Specify Network Settings77 U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D)until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU sizes and applications.Table 2.  Common MTU sizes MTU Application1500 The largest Ethernet packet size. This setting is typical for connections that do not use PPPoE or VPN, and is the default value for NETGEAR routers, adapters, and switches.1492 Used in PPPoE environments.1472 Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are fragmented.)1468 Used in some DHCP environments.1460 Usable by AOL if you do not have large email attachments, for example.1436 Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.1400 Maximum size for AOL DSL.576 Typical value to connect to dial-up ISPs.¾To change the MTU size:1.

Click the Apply button.Your change is saved.Set Up a Default DMZ ServerThe default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as the default DMZ server.WARNING:DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your network.The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port

The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection.WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia ApplicationsThe 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 must 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. WMM QoS is enabled by default.

A WDS expands a wireless network through multiple access points. A wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base station. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.RepeaterBase station access pointaccess pointFigure 7. Wireless repeating scenarioNote: To use the wireless repeating function, your router cannot have security enabled and cannot use the auto channel feature.You must set up a wireless base station and a wireless repeater:•Wireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point that bridges traffic to and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater access point. Often, the MAC address is on the product label.•Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the remote parent access point. The router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.

This chapter contains the following sections:•Troubleshoot with the LEDs •Cannot Log In to the Router •Problems with Date and Time •WiFi Connectivity •Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility
Troubleshooting100U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) Troubleshoot with the LEDsYou can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:1. The Power LED   lights amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test is running.2. After about 30 seconds, verify the following:•The Power LED lights solid white.•The Internet LED is lit.Power LED Is Off or Blinking•Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet. •Check that you are using the 12 V DC, 2.5A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product.•If the Power LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem.Power LED Stays AmberWhen the router is turned on, the Power LED lights amber for about 20 seconds and then lights white. If the LED does not turn white, the router has a problem.If the Power LED is still amber one minute after you turn on power to the router:1. Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers.2. Press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button.The router returns to its factory settings. See Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility on page 103.LEDs Never Turn OffWhen the router is turned on, the LEDs turn on for about 10 seconds and then turn off. If all the LEDs stay on, there is a fault within the router.If all LEDs are still on one minute after power-up:•Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.•Press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button to return the router to its factory settings. For more information, see Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility onpage 103.
Troubleshooting101 U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D)Internet LED Is OffCheck the following:•Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the modem.•Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer.•Be sure that you are using the correct cable.When connecting the router’s Internet port to a modem, use the cable that was supplied with the modem. This cable could be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.WiFi LED Is OffIf the WiFi LED stays off, check to see if the WiFi On/Off button on the router has been pressed. This button turns the wireless radios in the router on and off. The WiFi LED is lit when the wireless radio is turned on.Cannot Log In to the RouterIf you are unable to log in to the 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 router as described in the previous section.•Make sure that the IP address of your computer is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address is 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 Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated 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 router, and reboot your computer.•If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. For more information, see Factory Settings on page 120.•Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click the Refresh button to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.•Try quitting the browser and launching it again.•Make sure that 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.•Do not install your router as an additional router behind another router in your network. This network configuration is not supported.
Troubleshooting102U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) •If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as a replacement for an ADSL gateway in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services. For example, the router cannot convert ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking information. This network configuration is not supported.Problems with Date and TimeThe E-mail screen displays the current date and time of day. The 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.Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at least five minutes, and check the date and time again.•Time is off by one hour.Cause: The router does not automatically sense daylight saving time. On the E-mail screen, select or clear the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box.WiFi ConnectivityIf you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem: •Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?If not, check the WiFi LED on the router. If it is off, you can press the WiFi On/Off buttonon the router to turn the router wireless radios back on.If you disabled the router’s SSID broadcast, your wireless network is hidden and does not display in your wireless client’s scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is enabled.)•Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless network (WPA or WPA2)?•If you want to view the wireless settings for the router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN port on the router. Then log in to the router, and select BASIC > Wireless see Specify Basic WiFi Settings on page 89.Note: Be sure to click the Apply button if you change settings.If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these conditions:•Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see if the signal strength improves.•Are objects between the router and your computer blocking the WiFi signal?
Troubleshooting103 U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D)Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping UtilityMost network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a network is easy using the ping utility in your computer or workstation. Test the LAN Path to Your RouterYou can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly.¾To ping the router from a Windows computer:1. From the Windows toolbar, select Start > Run.2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:ping www.routerlogin.net3. Click the OK button.You should see a message like this one:Pinging <IP address > with 32 bytes of dataIf the path is working, you see this message:Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxxIf the path is not working, you see this message:Request timed outIf the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:•Wrong physical connectionsFor a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port to which you are connected.Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.•Wrong network configurationVerify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your computer. Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.
Troubleshooting104U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE Router (LG2200D) Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote DeviceAfter verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device.1. From the Windows toolbar, select Start > Run.2. In the Windows Run window, 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 like those shown in the previous section are displayed.If you do not receive replies:•Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If DHCP assigns the IP configuration of your computer, this information is not visible in your computer Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default gateway.•Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified by the subnet mask) 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 computer, enter that host name as the account name in the Internet Setup screen.•Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers.Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, configure your router to “clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer.
1051010. Set Up an Ethernet WAN Internet ConnectionIn addition to using your router with a 4G LTE Internet connection as usual, you can set it up to use an Ethernet WAN connection to broadband Internet service. To use an Ethernet WAN connection, you need a broadband modem with Internet service (such as a broadband cable modem and an account with a cable modem ISP). When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set up your router:•The ISP configuration information for your DSL account•ISP login name and password•Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in.This chapter contains the following sections:•Cable a WAN Ethernet Internet Connection •Advanced Internet Setup •IPv6•Troubleshoot an Ethernet WAN Internet Connection

Maintain recommended minimum distances between NETGEAR equipment and household appliances to reduce interference.5. Adjust the antenna positions.Troubleshoot Internet BrowsingIf your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages from the Internet:•The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit might have been reached.By configuring the traffic meter not to block, you can resume Internet access. If you have a usage limit, your ISP might charge you for the overage.•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 during the router’s configuration, 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 router configured as its TCP/IP router.If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer, and verify the router address.
