Wireless MAXg PC Card and PCI Adapter User Guide Home  Installation  Configuration  Tutorials  Help   I am no longer able to access the Internet. When your computer connects to the Internet, a number of devices have to work together. A. Your computer connects to your Wireless MAXg Router via a wireless or wired connection.  B. Your Wireless MAXg Router connects to your broadband cable/DSL modem via an Ethernet cable.  C. Your cable/DSL modem connects to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via your cable/phone network.  The first step in solving this problem is to diagnose the cause. There are a number of places where the connection from your computer to the Internet might fail. First, check the indicator lights of your various devices. If one or more of these devices indicate a problem, it’s a good indication of where you should focus your troubleshooting efforts. 第 1 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...
1. If your computer uses a wireless connection to your router, does the wireless utility indicate there is a good connection to your router? If your computer cannot communicate with the router, it cannot access the Internet. 2. Are your Wireless MAXg Router’s LEDs for power, wireless, and Internet lighted? If the router is turned off, or the wireless radio isn’t operating, or it has no connection to the Internet (via your cable/DSL modem), your computer won’t be able to access the Internet either. 3. Do your cable/DSL modem’s power and status LEDs indicate a connection? (Please refer to your modem’s documentation for information on its status indicators.) If your modem is turned off or cannot communicate with your ISP, your router will be unable to access the Internet. Now, let’s step through the various devices and determine which one isn’t connecting properly. Step 1: Can your computer connect to your Wireless MAXg Router? If you use a wired connection: If you use a wired connection between your computer and your Wireless MAXg Router, ensure the Ethernet cable is connected to your computer’s LAN port and to a LAN port on the router and that the corresponding LEDs are lighted. If you use a wireless connection: If you have a wireless connection to your Wireless MAXg Router, does your wireless utility report a successful connection to your router? If your wireless utility reports a successful wireless connection, it’s 第 2 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...
possible that your computer has connected to a neighbor’s router instead of yours. You can use your wireless utility to check the network name (SSID) of the router you’re connected to. If it’s connected to the wrong router, you can use the utility to force your computer to try to connect to your router. (Please refer to the documentation of your wireless adapter.) If you do not have a connection to your Wireless MAXg Router, you can try the following solutions: 1. Ensure that your computer is close enough to your router to receive a signal and that there is nothing interfering with the signal, such as a microwave oven or a concrete wall. If your router broadcasts its network name, you can use your computer’s wireless utility to scan for it. (This is typically called a “site survey.”) If your utility can’t detect your router, it may be a signal problem. 2. Ensure that the wireless utility is using the correct network name and security settings for your router. Settings such as network name, security method (WPA, WEP, etc.), and security keys must all match. If your router is using WPA encryption, each wireless card or adapter must support WPA encryption. If you are using a Wireless PC Card, PCI adapter, or USB adapter that does not support WPA encryption, you will not be able to connect to the Wireless MAXg Router and will need to use WEP encryption. Please refer to the Configuration section of this User Guide for information on changing the security settings. 3. If you have enabled MAC filtering, is this computer permitted to connect to your router? Please note that MAC filtering refers to specific wireless adapters. If you use MAC filtering and you’ve changed wireless adapters, you will have to add the MAC address of the new wireless adapter to the router. You’ve probably noticed that you need to access your Wireless MAXg Router in order to check some of these things. We’ll do that in the next step. 第 3 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...
If none of these work, you can try a wired connection between your computer and your router by connecting an Ethernet cable between your computer’s LAN port and a LAN port on the router. (Ensure that the corresponding LAN port LEDs are lighted.) If a wired connection works, the problem is almost certainly with your computer’s wireless connection to the router. You should then try the previous steps again. If you have a connection between your computer and your Wireless MAXg Router, it’s likely the router is not connected to the Internet or is not functioning correctly. Step 2: Is your Wireless MAXg Router responding? If you have a wireless or wired connection to your Wireless MAXg Router, open your Web browser to the router’s address: http://192.168.2.1 (Please note that if you’ve modified the router’s LAN IP address, you should use the new one.) If the Wireless MAXg Router’s Web interface doesn’t appear, your computer may need to re-establish a connection to your router: 1. Release and renew your computer’s network connection. Windows XP, 2000, and NT users:  Press Start and select Run.  Type cmd and press ENTER.  Type ipconfig /renew and press ENTER.  Type exit and press ENTER. Windows Me, 98, and 95 users:  Press Start and select Run.  Enter winipcfg and press ENTER.  Press Release.  Press Renew.  Close the application. Your computer should acquire an IP address (such as 192.168.2.5) from the router. 2. Try to access the router’s Web address at 第 4 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...
http://192.168.2.1  If the Wireless MAXg Router’s Web interface doesn’t appear, the router may need to be restarted: 1. With a thin tool, such as a paper clip, briefly press the RESET button on the back of the router. Note: If you press the RESET button for more than five seconds, the router will return to its factory default settings. 2. Wait about 30 seconds.  3. Release and renew your computer’s network connection. (See above for details.)  4. Try to access the router’s Web address at http://192.168.2.1  If you still cannot access the Wireless MAXg Router, the router may need to be restored to the default factory settings. (Please note that you will lose all of your router’s custom settings and will need to set it up again as if you were installing it for the first time. Alternatively, if you’ve made a backup of the settings, you will be able to restore them.) 1. With a thin tool, such as a paper clip, press the RESET button on the back of the router for at least five seconds.  2. Wait about 30 seconds.  3. Try to access the router’s Web address at http://192.168.2.1  If the Wireless MAXg Router’s Web interface still doesn’t appear, it’s possible that the router has failed. Please contact U.S. Robotics Customer Support. If the Wireless MAXg Router’s Web interface appears, the problem may be with its connection to your cable/DSL modem. Step 3: Can your Wireless MAXg Router 第 5 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...

There should be a statement at the top of the page indicating whether the router is connected to the Internet. Sample screenshot of a router connected to the Internet:  Sample screenshot of a router not connected to the Internet:  You can confirm that statement by checking the Status page’s WAN section to see if the router has a WAN IP address (such as 235.42.181.5). This IP address indicates whether the router is connected to the cable/DSL modem. If the router doesn’t have a WAN IP address, select the router’s 第 6 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...
Internet page and use it to configure the router’s Internet connection. (If you have a DSL modem, you may be required to enter the login information your ISP provided.) If the Wireless MAXg Router still cannot obtain a WAN IP address, it is likely there is a problem with the cable/DSL modem or your ISP. Step 4: Can your cable/DSL modem connect to your ISP? If your computer has a connection to your Wireless MAXg Router and the router’s Internet connection is configured correctly, but the router cannot connect to the Internet, it’s possible that the cable/DSL modem has lost its connection or isn’t functioning properly, or there’s a problem with your ISP. 1. Ensure that an Ethernet cable is connected between your router’s WAN port and the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port and that the corresponding LEDs are lighted.  2. Ensure that your cable/DSL modem is connected to your wall jack. (A cable modem uses a coax cable, and a DSL modem uses an RJ-11 cable.)  3.Restart the cable/DSL modem. (There may be a power switch or reset button on the modem or you may have to unplug/re-plug the modem’s power adapter. Consult your modem’s documentation.)  4.After the cable/DSL modem has restarted and connected to your ISP, click the Renew button on your router’s Status page. 第 7 頁,共 8 頁Wireless MAXg Router User Guide2004/12/20file://D:\Data\USR\Certificate%20document\G-Force%20PC-PCI%20User%20Guide%2012...
 5. After the router has finished releasing and renewing its WAN IP address, click Continue to return to the Status page.  If your Wireless MAXg Router now says it’s connected to the Internet and has an IP address, try to access the Internet. If you still cannot access the Internet, please start at the beginning of this tutorial to determine the new point of failure. (It’s possible that your wireless connection needs to be re-established.) If the Wireless MAXg Router still does not have an IP address, the problem may be with the cable/DSL modem or your ISP. Please contact your ISP’s Customer Support.

What type of firewall is the Wireless MAXg Router equipped with? The Wireless MAXg Router uses NAT and TCP/IP port forwarding. What is NAT? Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This provides security since the IP address of a computer on the LAN is not transmitted to the Internet. The user can have multiple private addresses behind the single address that was provided by the ISP. What is DMZ? DMZ stands for Demilitarised Zone. This feature allows one IP address to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ allows only one computer to be exposed when multiple TCP/IP ports need to be open. If you want to use DMZ, you must set your computer with a static IP. If DMZ is used, does the exposed user share the public IP with the Wireless MAXg Router? No, all specific requests are forwarded to the DMZ host. What should I do if I am unable to access my e-mail or the Web page of my ISP? You should contact your ISP to get the full URL and then perform the following steps: Note: Linux users can perform steps 4 and 5 after opening a terminal. 1.
