a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Router using the included Ethernet cable.
Ensure that the power on the Router is on.
b. Check that your computer IS NOT connected to any wireless networks. If it is, disable your Wi-Fi connection
and disconnect from all wireless networks. Reboot the router and try again.
c. Close your current web browser and reopen it. Use Google Chrome, Internet Explorer (8.0 and up), or Safari.
d. Open your web browser and enter 192.168.3.1 into the web address bar.
e. Reset the Router to default settings by holding the Reset Button (located on the back panel)
for ten (10) seconds and try again.
