Wireless Router User Guide

If you can't connect

If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
• The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is

powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
• Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
• Enter the command:

ping 192.168.1.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)

• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range

192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's de-
fault IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.

• Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network seg-

ment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)

• Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only

be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.
