Troubleshooting - Can not access DWL-G710 on 192.168.0.30
Please note that when accessing the device's Web interface via http://192.168.0.30 you are not
accessing some web site on the Internet. The device's configuration pages are built into the
device. You do not have to be online to get to those pages, you just need to be connected to the
DWL-G710. Please also make sure all the Anti-virus/firewall software on your computer,
especially Norton, is disabled before you access http://192.168.0.30
Step 1. Connect your computer's network port to your repeater's LAN ports (Ethernet ports)
using a network cable.
Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the LAN ports of the device. If
you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the
device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be on.
Step 2. Under Control Panel > Network Connections... make sure that your Local Area
Connection is enabled and not bridged with any other connection. If you see any icon there
which is called "Bridge" - delete it. If you see your Local Area Connection marked as "Bridged" -
right-click and select "Remove from Bridge".
