If you cannot connect...
If the Wireless Portable Router does not respond, check the following:
 The Wireless Portable Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and
it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
 Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
 Enter the command:
ping 10.10.10.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC's
IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Portable Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)
 If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.253 to be compatible with the Wireless Portable Router's
default IP Address of 10.10.10.254. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your PC's
TCP/IP settings.
 Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Portable Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
 Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only
be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.
