PROBLEM:
SOLUTIONS:
I entered setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open the Web Menu.
a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Access Point wirelessly and NOT using a network cable.
Ensure the power is plugged in and on. Try to access the setup menu again.
b. Enter the following web address into your web browser instead of ‘setup.ampedwireless.com’:
http://192.168.80.240
c. Power off (unplug the power adapter) the Access Point and power it back on. Try again.
d. Reset your Access Point to default settings by holding the Reset button (located on the back panel) for
ten (10) seconds and try again.
e. If you are using a Static IP, you will need to enter the assigned IP address into the web browser to access the web
menu. When using a Static IP, the setup.ampedwireless.com shortcut will no longer work.
I do not have Internet access when connecting to the Access Point.
a. Your router or original network may not have Internet access. First check to see if you are able to access the
Internet by connecting directly with your router. If you cannot, there is a problem with your router that needs
to be fixed first. If you are able to access the Internet, continue with the following troubleshooting options below.
b. Your router may be using Static IP assignments. If so, you will need to configure a Static IP for the Access Point.
Connect your PC to the Access Point using an Ethernet cable. Disconnect your PC from any wireless networks that
it may be connected to. Access the web menu at setup.ampedwireless.com using a web browser. Access the IP
settings menu from the left hand navigation bar. Select ‘Disabled’ under the DHCP dropdown menu and enter an
IP address that matches your router’s IP settings.
My Access Point was working fine previously, but now I can no longer access the Internet through the Access Point.
a. The settings on your router’s network may have changed or you may have lost Internet connection on your home
router. Any changes to the DHCP settings of your home router may affect the Internet connection of the
Access Point. Check the settings on your router and try again.
b. Reboot the Access Point by unplugging the power adapter and plugging it back in. Allow up to 3 minutes
for the Access Point to reconfigure itself to your network. Check to see if your connection has been
reestablished by viewing a website.
