7. Configure your DGA2231 to your needs (optional)
The DGA2231 web interface allows you to configure your DGA2231 using your web
browser. To access the DGA2231 web user interface:
1 Browse to http://192.168.1.1 on a computer or device that is currently connected to
your DGA2231 (either wired or over Wi‑Fi).
2 The DGA2231 user interface appears. By default, you are logged in as guest. This
means that some items are hidden. To view all items, click Sign In and enter admin
as user name and the ACCESS KEY printed on the bottom of your DGA2231 as
password.
8. Troubleshooting
8.1. Turning o the Wi‑Fi
When you press and hold the Wi‑Fi ( ) button between three and eight seconds,
the Wi‑Fi will be turned o or on depending on its current state.
How can I tell whether the Wi‑Fi is on?
If the Wi‑Fi ( ) LED is solid or blinking green, the Wi‑Fi is on.
If the Wi‑Fi ( ) LED is o, then use one of the following methods to check if the
Wi‑Fi is on:
• Browse to the DGA2231 web interface and check the colors of the bullet in the
Wireless card. If the bullets are green, then the Wi‑Fi is on.
• On a Wi‑Fi device that is within range of the DGA2231, check whether the
DGA2231 appears in the list of available networks.
8.2. WPS troubleshooting
WPS does not start
Make sure that the Wi‑Fi is on. For more information, see “8.1. Turning o the Wi‑Fi”
on page6.
The WPS LED is blinking red
This indicates that your DGA2231 could not connect to your Wi‑Fi device.
Do the following:
1 Wait two minutes and then start WPS again.
2 Turn your DGA2231 slightly and then try again.
3 Obstructions may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number of
walls between the two devices and then try again.
4 Move the devices closer to each other and then try again.
Wi‑Fi settings label
On the back panel of your DGA4231 you can find a label with useful
information about the Wi‑Fi access point:
• The Network Name.
This name is used to identify the access point. Some use the term SSID instead.
• The Wireless Key.
This key is used to secure the Wi‑Fi network. Only devices that use this key
can connect to the access point. You can enter this key manually or configure it
automatically using WPS.
Tips
To achieve optimal link quality:
• Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your
Wi‑Fi devices to a minimum.
• Do not place your Wi‑Fi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause
interference (microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.).
Connecting a Wi‑Fi device using WPS Push Button Configuration
(PBC)
1 Make sure that your Wi‑Fi devices supports WPS PBC and you know how to start
it. For more information, consult the documentation of your Wi‑Fi device.
2 On the top panel of your DGA4231, briefly press the WPS ( ) button and then
release it. The WPS ( ) LED starts blinking orange.
3 Within two minutes, start WPS PBC on your Wi‑Fi device. You will probably have
to do this in one of the following ways:
Press a WPS ( ) button on your Wi‑Fi device.
Start WPS (PBC) on the user interface of your Wi‑Fi device.
Open a list of available networks and select the Network Name mentioned on
Wi‑Fi settings label.
4 After a few seconds, your Wi‑Fi device should be connected.
If the WPS ( ) LED starts blinking red, then your DGA4231 could
not connect your Wi‑Fi device. For more information, see “The WPS
LED is blinking red” on page6.
Connecting a Wi‑Fi device manually
On your Wi‑Fi device, proceed as follows:
1 Open the list of available Wi‑Fi networks and select the entry that contains the
Network Name from the label.
2 Your Wi‑Fi device will ask you to enter the Wi‑Fi key or password.
