Windows users: You can check your connections automatically with the
included utility program.
1.
Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Troubleshooting folder on your
USRobotics installation CD-ROM (for example, D:\Troubleshooting, if your CD
drive is labeled D:).
Double-click on Troubleshoot_Connection.
2.
This utility program tests your connections and, if there is a problem, tells you
where it is.
Step 1: Can your computer connect to your Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway?
Open a Web browser to the gateway's address: http://192.168.1.1 (Please note that if
you've modified the gateway's LAN IP address, you must use the new one.)
If the gateway's Web user interface appears, go to Step 3. Otherwise, the gateway may
need to be restarted:
1.
With a thin tool such as a paper clip, briefly press the Reset button on the back of
the gateway.
2.
Wait one or two minutes as the gateway restarts.
If you use a wired connection:
If you use a cable connection between your computer and the gateway, ensure that one
end of the Ethernet cable is connected to your computer's LAN port and the other end is
connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the gateway. Also check that the corresponding
LED is lighted.
In the unlikely event that your computer is using a static IP address, either re-configure
your computer to use a dynamic IP address or ensure that its static IP address is in the
same network as the ADSL Gateway. (That means that the IP address has the format
192.168.1.x where x can be any number between 2 and 254, inclusive.)
Now, please restart your computer. It will attempt to connect to the gateway. Proceed to
Step 2.
If you use a wireless connection:
1.
Ensure that your computer is close enough to your gateway to receive a wireless
signal and that there is nothing interfering with the signal, such as a microwave oven
or a concrete wall.
