Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router - Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning. - If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the router name in the Wizard Setup. - Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by only allowing traffic from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to "borrow" or "spoof" the MAC address from the authorized PC. Refer to "Configuring for Internet Access" on page 4-1. Restoring the Default Configuration and Password This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the Manager password to 1234 and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways: • Use the Erase function of the Web Manager. See "Erase the Configuration" on page 6-5. • Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the Manager password or IP address is not known. See "Using the Default Reset button" on page 6-7. Problems with Date and Time The E-Mail menu in the Advanced configuration topics displays the current time of day. The Model MR314 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: • Date shown is January 1, 2000 Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time again. • Time is off by one hour Cause: The router cannot sense Daylight Savings Time. Change the Time Zone setting to a zone whose Standard Time matches the correct time for your zone. Troubleshooting 7-7
