Reference Manual for the Model HR314 802.11a Hi-Speed Wireless Router LAN or Internet Port LEDs Not On If either the LAN LEDs or Internet LED do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following: • Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation. • Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation. • Be sure you are using the correct cable: - When connecting the router's Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable. Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface If you are unable to access the router's Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local network, check the following: • Check the Ethernet connection between the PC and the router as described in the previous section. • Make sure your PC's IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your PC's address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. Refer to "Verifying TCP/IP Properties" on page 3-5 or "Verifying Macintosh TCP/IP Properties" on page 3-7 to find your PC's IP address. Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 to configure your PC. Note: If your PC's IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the PC to the router and reboot your PC. • If your router's IP address has been changed and you don't know the current IP address, clear the router's configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router's IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in "Using the Default Reset Button to Restore the Factory Configuration and Password" on page 9-7. • Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Troubleshooting 9-3
