Step 1: Check to see if the router is powered on and working correctly. After the device is

powered on for a few seconds, the SYS indicator on the front panel should illuminate. If it is

not lit, please contact us.

Step 2: Check that the network cables are connected correctly and that the corresponding

LED indicator illuminates. Sometimes, the indicator illuminates, but it does not mean it is

functioning.

Step 3: Run the “Ping” command and check to see if it can ping the router's LAN IP

address 192.168.0.1. To do this, open your system's “Command Prompt” and type Ping

192.168.0.1 and then press Enter. If the ping is successful, please make sure your browser

does not access the Internet through a proxy server. If the ping fails, press the RESET

button on the router for at least 7 seconds to restore to default settings, then repeat the

ping operation. If it still does not work, please contact us.

2. I forgot the login password and cannot enter the Web-based Utility.

Press the RESET button for at least 7 seconds to restore the router to its default settings.

3. The computer connected with the router shows IP address conflict.

Check if there are other DHCP servers in the LAN. If so, disable them. The default IP

address of the router is 192.168.0.1, so make sure the address is not being used by any

other device. If there are two computers with the same IP address, change one of them.

4. I cannot use E-mail and access the Internet.

This sometimes happens with ADSL connections and Dynamic IP users. You may need to

modify the default MTU value (1492). To do this, open the WAN Setting screen and modify

the MTU value to a recommended value, such as 1450 or 1400.

5.How can I share my computer's resource with other users on the internet？

If you want Internet users to access the internal server via the router, such as an e-mail

server, Web server, FTP server, etc., you can configure a Virtual Server, as follows:

Step 1: Create your internal server. Make sure the LAN users can access these servers

and that you know the related service port. For example, a web server's port is 80, FTP is

21, SMTP is 25, and POP3 is 110.

Step 2: In the router's web utility, click Virtual Server and select Port Range Forwarding.

Step 3: Input the service port used by the application (i.e. the external port) for mapping the

internal and external network, for example 80 for a web server. Input the same value for

both the Start port and End port fields

Step 4: Input the internal server's IP address. For example, if your Web server's IP address
