D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router
• Make sure that you have not pressed the WPS button on the side of the WiFi DSL
modem router after disabling the WPS feature (you logged in to the WiFi DSL modem
router and disabled this feature previously).
• Check that
the WiFi DSL modem router is not in the temporary AP setup locked state (if
you are using the wireless repeater function).
Cannot Log In to the Router
If you are unable to log in to the WiFi DSL modem router from a computer on your local
network, check the following:
• If you are
using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the WiFi DSL modem router. For more information, see Check
Ethernet Cable Connections on p
age 143.
• Make sure tha
t your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the WiFi DSL
modem router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s
address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
• If your co
mputer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and
Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server.
These autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in
this range, check the connection from the computer to the WiFi DSL modem router, and
reboot your computer.
• If your WiFi DSL modem router’
s IP address was changed and you do not know the
current IP address, clear the WiFi DSL modem router’s configuration to factory defaults.
This procedure sets the WiFi DSL modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. This
procedure is explained in Factory Settings on p
age 153.
• Make sure tha
t your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• T
ry quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make su
re that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name
is admin and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter
this information.
• If you are
attempting to set up your NETGEAR WiFi DSL modem router as an additional
router behind an existing router in your network, consider replacing the existing router
instead. NETGEAR does not support such a configuration.
• If
you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR WiFi DSL modem router as a replacement
for an ADSL gateway in your network, the WiFi DSL modem router cannot perform many
gateway services, for example, converting ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking
information. NETGEAR does not support such a configuration.
