2. If all setup steps are complete, Please follow the steps below to make sure the
RNX-EasyN400 is connected with the modem.
•Configure your settings correctly i.e. DHCP, SSID, Password.
•Save your settings.
•Reboot your Rosewill Router and your ADSL/Cable modem.
•If rebooting your ADSL/Cable modem doesn’t work, please call your
ADSL/Cable provider and ask them to reset and restart your ADSL/Cable
Modem. (This is due to some newer ADSL/Cable modems are now equipped
with a battery for when power is lost, i.e. Time Warner Cable Modems, will
keep the modem on and connected. Due to the ADSL/Cable modem not
assigning the correct DHCP information, the Rosewill Routers can not work
correctly and assign a DHCP to the client computers.)
