Problem:

The Setup Assistant cannot find my Router�

solution:

If the Setup Assistant is not able to find the Router during the installation

process, please check the following items:

1�

If the Setup Assistant is not able to find the Router during the

installation process, there may be third-party firewall software

installed on the computer attempting to access the Internet�

Examples of third-party firewall software are ZoneAlarm,

BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal Firewall, and Norton

Personal Firewall�

If you do have firewall software installed on your computer, please make

sure that you properly configure it� You can determine if the firewall

software is preventing Internet access by temporarily turning it off� If,

while the firewall is disabled, Internet access works properly, you will

need to change the firewall settings to function properly when it is

turned on�

Please refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your

firewall software for instructions on configuring the firewall to allow

Internet access�

2�

Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the

power back into the Router� Ensure that the Router’s Power light is

on; it should be solid green� If not, check to make sure that the AC

adapter is correctly connected to the Router and plugged into a

wall outlet�

3�

Ensure that you have a cable (use the cable included with the

Router) connected between (1) the network (Ethernet) port on the

back of the computer and (2) one of the LAN ports, labeled “1”

through “4”, on the back of the Router�

note: The computer should NOT be connected to the port labeled

“Modem” on the back of the Router�

4�

Try shutting down and restarting your computer, then rerunning the

Setup Assistant�

If the Setup Assistant is still unable to find the Router, reference

the section titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” for

installation steps�
