Symptom Cause My bridge-enabled computer could not communicate with my wireless-enabled computer or printer. This most likely is a network configuration problem. Solution • Check that the wireless-enabled computer or printer is on the same wireless network as the computer using the bridge. • Make sure the Network Name (SSID), WEP key (if WEP is enabled), and country/region selection are the same for all devices connected to the same wireless network. • If the computer is connected to the bridge through a switch or hub, try connecting it directly to the bridge. I can't get the configuration utility to show the bridge. or I can't open the configuration software with my browser. This could be a network configuration problem or a hardware connection problem. I have a gaming console, computer, and the bridge connected through a switch. The computer connects to the Internet but the gaming console can't. If using a switch or hub with an Ethernet-enabled gaming console, the gaming console must be powered on before the other Ethernet-enabled devices. • If the wireless LAN setting are correct, make sure all the devices are on the same IP network. • Make sure the Ethernet cable connectors are plugged into the computer and bridge securely. • You may need to change the IP address of your computer temporarily to change the bridge's IP address. See page 8. • Reset to factory defaults. See pg.18. • With power on, disconnect everything from the switch or hub. Re-connect the WGE101, then connect the game console(s). Finally, connect the other device(s). Note: For more troubleshooting information, go to the NETGEAR, Inc. web site. 21
