In case that ping fails, press and hold the "RESET" button on your device for 7 seconds to restore factory default settings, and then run “ping192.168.2.1” again. 4) Contact our technical support for help if the problem still exists after you tried all the above. 2.
address automatically, please ensure that the router's DHCP function is enabled. DHCP can automatically assign an IP address to your computer. If there is no DHCP server available on your network, please set a static IP address and fill in gateway and DNS, otherwise you cannot access Internet. 5. Q: I cannot access Internet and send/receive emails; what should I do? This problem mainly happens to users using ADSL dialup or dynamic IP Internet connection types.
Step 2: Click “Advanced” and select “Port Range Forwarding” (Also known as Port Ranging) on the Router’s web interface. Step 3: Input the start service port (also known as External Port on some devices) NO, say, 80. Step 4: Input the end service port (also known as Internal Port on some devices) NO, say, 80. Step 5: Input the internal server’s IP address. For example, assuming that your Web server’s IP address is 192.168. 2.10, then simply input it.
8. Q: I cannot access Internet in WISP Mode; what should I do? a. Make sure your wireless network adapter is functioning correctly on your PC and wireless signal is strong enough. If there are too many available wireless networks, it is advisable to use 802.11 b/g mode for less interference. b. Make sure you entered correct SSID and MAC address of the link partner on the device. It is advisable to use the “Open scan” option. c.
