Your computer and the NBG6716 should be in the same subnet. • If the NBG6716 is in Access Point Mode, make sure the WAN port is connected to a broadband modem or router with Internet access and your computer is set to obtain an dynamic IP address. 3 If the NBG6716 is in Router Mode, make sure you entered your ISP account information correctly in the wizard or the WAN screen. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on. 4 If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the AP. 5 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again. 6 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.

If the NBG6716 is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. 2 Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the NBG6716 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on). 3 Reboot the NBG6716. 4 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions.
