Problem:
Setup Assistant cannot find my Router.
Solution:
If the Setup Assistant is not able to find the Router during the installation
process, please check the following items:
1.
If the Setup Assistant is not able to find the Router during the installation
process, there may be third-party firewall software installed on the
computer attempting to access the Internet. Examples of third-party
firewall software are ZoneAlarm, BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee
Personal Firewall, and Norton Personal Firewall. If you do have firewall
software installed on your computer, please make sure that you properly
configure it. You can determine if the firewall software is preventing
Internet access by temporarily turning it off. If, while the firewall is
disabled, Internet access works properly, you will need to change the
firewall settings to function properly when it is turned on. Please refer to
the instructions provided by the publisher of your firewall software for
instructions on configuring the firewall to allow Internet access.
2.
Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the power
back into the Router. Ensure that the Router’s Power light is on; it
should be solid green. If not, check to make sure that the AC adapter is
connected to the Router and plugged into a wall outlet.
3.
Ensure that you have a cable (use the cable included with the Router)
connected between (1) the network (Ethernet) port on the back of the
computer and (2) one of the LAN ports, labeled “1” through “4”, on the
back of the Router.
Note:
The computer should NOT be connected to the port labeled “Internet/
WAN” on the back of the Router.
4.
Try shutting down and restarting your computer, then rerunning the
Setup Assistant.
If the Setup Assistant is still unable to find the Router, reference the section
titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” for installation steps.
