Troubleshooting Tips：
Here are some tips for solving simple problems you may have.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
1) Turn off the modem, router, and computer;
2) Turn on the modem, wait for two minutes;
3) Turn on the router and wait for one minute;
4) Turn on the computer.
Make sure the network cables are securely plugged in.
• The WAN indicator on the router lights up if the network cable to the router from the modem
is plugged in securely and the modem and router are turned on.

9
• For each powered on computer connected to the router with a securely plugged in network
cable, the corresponding LAN port status indicator will light up. The front panel of the router
identifies the number of each LAN port.
Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
• Some cable operators authenticate the MAC address of the computer registered on the
account. The MAC address here is the physical hardware address on your computer’s network
adaptor. If your Internet connection doesn’t work, try to clone the computer’s MAC Address to
the router.
1) In Windows desktop, select Start ÆRun Ætype “cmd” command.
2) Type “ipconfig/all” to show computer’s Physical Address (MAC Address).
3) Please refer to “3.2 WAN Connection Type ---- Dynamic IP” for MAC Cloning
