Troubleshooting
Q1: How do I configure TCP/IP settings on my computer?
1. Go into the Control Panel and double-
click the Network Connections icon,
right-click the Local Area Connection
icon and then click Properties.
2. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
then click Properties. Then click on
Use the following IP address, and
make sure you assign your network
adapter an IP address in the subnet of
192.168.1.x.

Q3:
A3:
If my network's IP is different than the Access Point's range, what should I
do?
You should still configure the Access Point first. After all the settings are
applied, go to the Access Point's configuration page, click on TCP/IP settings and
change the IP address of the Access Point to match your network's IP.
I typed http://192.168.1.100 in my Internet Browser's Address Bar, but an
error message says “The page cannot be displayed.” How can I get into the
TEW-430APB's web configuration page?
First, check your hardware settings again by following the instructions in
section 2. Second, make sure the LAN and WLAN lights are lit. Third, make sure
the TCP/IP settings are configured properly (see Q1). Fourth, since the Access
Point's default IP address is 192.168.1.100, make sure that no other network
devices are assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.100.

A5:
After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network settings,
I can not connect to my network using wireless computers.
If you have a DHCP server in your network, you need to go into TCP/IP
settings again and re-select "Obtain an IP address automatically" to allow the PC
to regain an IP address from your DHCP server.
All the settings are correct, but I can not make a wireless connection to the
Access Point.
First, double check that the WLAN light on the Access Point is lit. Second,
power cycle the Access Point by unplugging the power to the Access Point. Wait
15 seconds, then plug the power back in. Third, contact the manufacturer of your
wireless network adapter. Make sure the wireless network adapter is configured
with the proper SSID. The default SSID of the Access Point is TRENDnet.
