Testing the Path from a Computer to the Internet After verifying that the path between your computer and the wireless router works correctly, test the path from your PC to the Internet. To test the path using ping from a Windows PC: 1. From the Windows task bar, click Start and select Run. 2. In the field provided, type cmd. A command screen will display. 3. At the > prompt, type the following: ping -n 10 where is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server. 4. Press Enter. If the path is working correctly, replies as in the previous section will display. If you do not receive replies: • Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the TCP/IP default gateway. • Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device. • If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name in the Basic Settings menu.

Technical Specifications Restoring the Default Password and Configuration Settings You can restore the factory default configuration settings that reset the router’s user name to admin, the password to password, and the IP address to 192.168.1.1. This procedure will erase all the current configuration settings and restore the factory defaults. To restore the factory default configuration settings: 1. Use a sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the restore factory settings button, located on the rear panel of the router, for about 5 seconds, until the Power light begins to blink (see “Back Panel” on page 4). 2. Release the restore factory settings button, and wait for the router to restart, and for the Power light to stop blinking and become solid green. The factory default settings will be restored so that you can access the router from your Web browser using the factory defaults.
