Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
Connections
Everything appears to be setup properly with the Router, but I can’t connect
to the Internet. Why?
If you had your Internet connection already set up on your computer, you may
need to power cycle your cable/DSL Modem before the Router can sync up with
the modem. Unplug the cable/DSL modem and the Router from their respective
power outlets, and shut down your computer. Wait at least five minutes, then
plug in the modem. Once your modem is back up, you can plug in the Router
and restart your computer.
How many computers can be connected through the Router?
The Router is capable of 254 connections, but having no more than 45 connec-
tions is recommended. As the number of connections increases, the available
speed for each computer decreases.
Security
What is WEP?
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the standard that encrypts 802.11g/802.11b
communications.
What is the default username for the Router?
The default username for the router is admin (all lower case). To activate the
password to protect the Router, change the default password, which is blank by
default. Remote management is not available on the Router until the default
password is changed.
What is the difference between 40-bit and 64-bit encryption?
There really is no difference between the two. They are just different terminolo-
gies used throughout the industry for the same level of encryption.
