This
section provides possible solutions to problems regarding the installation
and
operation of the Cable/DSL Router. Read below description to solve your
problems.
If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys website at
1. I
can’t connect to the Cable/DSL Router.
• Check to
see that the Cable/DSL Router is properly installed, the LAN
connections
are OK (Link LEDs should be on), and it is powered ON.
• Make sure
that your PC and the Router are on the same network segment.
If you are
not sure, initiate the DHCP function and let the PC get the IP
address
automatically.
• Make sure
that your PC is using an IP address between 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254
and thus compatible with the Cable/DSL Router default
IP address
of 192.168.1.1.
• Also, the
Subnet Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the
Cable/DSL
Router’s Subnet Mask. You can check these settings for the
Router by
going to Start and Run, then type in “winipcfg” and press
Enter.
2.
The Diag LED stays lit when it should not be lit.
• The Diag
LED lights up when the Router is first powered up. Meantime,
the system
will boot up itself and check for proper operation. After finishing
the
checking procedure, the LED turns off to show the system is
working
fine. If the LED remains lit after this time, the device is not
working
properly. Try to re-flash the firmware by assigning a static IP
address to
the computer, then upgrade the firmware again. For example,
on one PC,
use the following IP settings:
IP Adress:
192.168.1.50, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.1.
If that
doesn’t help, contact your dealer for more information.
3. I
can’t browse through the Cable/DSL Router.
•
Check if both ends of the network cable and power adapter
are properly
connected.
Check if the status LEDs on the front panel are functioning
properly.
•
If using Windows 95 or Windows 98, check the TCP/IP setup on
the
client
side. Run "winipcfg" by clicking on the Start button,
then selecting
Run.
The PC should have an IP address of 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is
from 2 to
254.) Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, the default gateway IP
should be the Router’s IP Address, and
DNS (in "More)
