A4:
I typed http://192.168.1.1 in my Internet browser's address bar, but
error message says "The page cannot be displayed". How can I get into
the TEW-450APB's web configuration page?
Please check your hardware and TCP/IP settings again by following
the instructions in sections 1~3. Make sure the Power, LAN, and WLAN
LEDs are lit and the TCP/IP configurations are correct. Then try accessing
http://192.168.1.1 again.
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 for the Access Point to match your
network's IP.
After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network
settings, I cannot 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 automatically" for
Windows 98/ME and "Obtain an IP Address automatically" for Windows
2000/XP to allow the PC to regain an IP address from your DHCP server.
All the settings are set correctly, but I still can't use the Access Point,
what should I do?
You can find additional information in the User's Guide. If you still have
Problems, contact our Technical Support by email or phone.
