Apply

before moving to another

screen or tab, or your changes could be lost.

•

Click

in the web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the

web browser might be caching the old configuration.

Changes Not Saved

If the wireless modem router does not save the changes you make in the wireless modem

router interface, check the following:

•

When entering configuration settings, always click the

Apply

button before moving to

another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.

•

Click the

Refresh

Reload

button in the web browser. The changes might have

occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.

Incorrect Date or Time

Select

ADVANCED > Security > Schedule

to display the current date and time. The

wireless modem router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from

one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the

date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:

•

Date shown is January 1, 2000. This value means the wireless modem router has not yet

successfully reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access is

configured correctly. If you have finished setting up the wireless modem router, wait at

least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.

•

Time is off by one hour. The wireless modem router does not automatically sense

daylight saving time. In the Schedule screen, select the

Automatically adjust for daylight

savings time

check box.

Wireless Connectivity

If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the wireless modem router, try to isolate the

problem.

•

Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?

If not, check the Wireless LEDs on the front of the wireless modem router. They should

be lit. If they are not, you can press the

WiFi On/Off

button on the front of the wireless

modem router to turn the wireless modem router’s wireless radio back on.

If you disabled the wireless modem router’s SSID broadcast, then your wireless network

is hidden and does not show up in your wireless client’s scanning list. By default, SSID

broadcast is enabled.

•

Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless

network (WPA or WPA2)?
