Chapter 9 9.1 1. Q&A Installation Q: Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network? A: In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN. Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub (switch or computer). 2. Q: Why does the throughput seem slow? A: To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100 meter.
1. Q: What is the default IP address of the router for LAN port? A: The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 2. Q: I don't know my WAN IP. A: There are two ways to know. Way 1: Check with your Internet Service Provider. Way 2: Check the setting screen of 11N Mini Router. Click on Status & Log item to select Network Configuration on the Main Menu. WAN IP is shown on the WAN interface. 3.
A: Possible Solution 1: Make sure that your Ethernet connect properly and securely. Make sure that you've plugged in the power cord. Possible Solution 2: Make sure that your PC is using an IP address within the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Make sure that the address of the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If necessary, the Default Gateway data should be at 192.168.1.1. To verify these settings, perform the following steps: Windows 95, 98, or My Users: 1.
6. Click on OK button. 3. Q: Web page hangs, corrupt downloads, or nothing but junk characters is being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do? A: Force your NIC to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Auto-negotiate" feature of your NIC as a temporary measure. (Please look at the Network Control Panel, in your Ethernet Adapter's Advanced Properties tab.) 4. Q: Why can't I connect to the Web Configuration? A: you can remove the proxy server settings in your web browser. 9.5 1.
4. Q: How do I upgrade the firmware of 11N Mini Router? A: Periodically, a new Flash Code is available for 11N Mini Router on your product supplier’s website. Ideally, you should update 11N Mini Router’s Flash Code using Firmware Upgrade on the System Management menu of 11N Mini Router Settings. 5. Q: My 11n Mobile Server Router cannot connect to the ISP? A: There are three possible solutions. 1. Check the Cable/XDSL modem is power on. 2.
9.6 1. Wireless LAN Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking? A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up, particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go over some of more common ones. For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID descriptions.
2. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point. A: Check the following: z Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode.) z The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup” does NOT match “workgroup”. z Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for WEP.
A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: 5. z It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. z Only one (1) PC can use this feature. Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
A: Maybe your USB devices and 11N Mini Router are not compatible. So if you want to know whether your inserted device such as USB Web Camera, USB Printer or USB HDD corresponds with 11N Mini Router, please check with your product supplier. 3. Q: What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the XDSL Router will support? A: The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode. 5.
