6. How do I reset my N3G002W Wireless Router to its factory default settings?
To hard-reset the N3G002W Wireless Router its factory default settings, follow the steps listed below:
Ensure that the router is powered on (for at least 20 seconds).
Use a paper clip or a pencil tip to depress the reset button for ten seconds and release. At this point, the
reset is in progress. Do not power off the unit at this point.
After the router reboots, the default settings are now restored. This entire process takes several minutes
to complete.
Once you have reset the router to its default settings you will be able to access the device’s web
configuration using http://192.168.123.254 with password “admin”.
7. What is VPN?
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Networking.” VPN creates a “tunnel” through an existing Internet
connection using PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (IP Security) protocols with various
encryption schemes including Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP).
This feature allows you to use your existing Internet connection to connect to a remote site with added
security.
8. What can I do if my Ethernet cable does not work properly?
First, ensure that there is a solid cable connection between the Ethernet port on the N3G002W Wireless
Router, and your NIC (Network Interface Card).
Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC adapter are “Enabled,” and set to accept an IP address from
the DHCP (Please refer to Computer Hardware Configuration on page 9 for additional information).
If all settings appear to be correct, ensure that you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable. Although the
N3G002W Wireless Router is MDI/MDIX compatible, not all NIC are. Therefore, it is recommended that
you use a straight through Ethernet cable when possible.
