Troubleshooting

N450 Wireless Router WNR2500
Check that your cable or DSL broadband modem is connected and functioning.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account
name in the Internet Settings screen.
Your ISP might be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your
computers.
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your
broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a
single computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, configure your router to clone or
spoof the MAC address from the authorized computer.
