Troubleshooting
Note: If you have changed
the default IP Address,
make sure to ping the cor-
rect IP Address assigned
to the DI-784.
1.The computer used to configure the DI-784 cannot access the
Configuration menu.
Check that the
Ethernet LED
on the DI-784 is
ON
. If the
LED
is not
ON
, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely
inserted.
Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly.
Please see
item 3
(
Check that the drivers for the network adapters are
installed properly
) in this
Troubleshooting
section to check that
the drivers are loaded properly.
Check that the
IP Address
is in the same range and subnet as the
DI-784. Please see
Checking the IP Address
in Windows XP
in the
Networking Basics
section of this manual.
Note:
The IP Address of the DI-784 is 192.168.0.1. All the computers on the
network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.
Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the
network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0
Do a
Ping test
to make sure that the DI-784 is responding. Go to
Start
>
Run
>Type
Command
>Type
A successful
ping will show four replies.
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the DI-784 Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of the
network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having
problems.
Note:
It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to
configure the DI-784 Wireless Broadband Router.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the
Infrastructure mode.
Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access
Point.
To check this connection:
Right-click
on the
Local Area Connection icon
in the taskbar> select
View Available Wireless Networks
. The
Connect to
Wireless Network
screen will appear. Please make sure you have selected the
correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below.
Troubleshooting
Check that the
IP Address
assigned to the wireless adapter is within the
same
IP Address range
as the access point and gateway.
(Since the DI-
784 has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, wireless adapters must have an
IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device must have
a unique IP Address; no two devices may have the same IP Address.
The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the
network.)
To check the
IP Address
assigned to the wireless adapter,
double-click
on the
Local Area Connection icon
in the taskbar >
select the
Support tab
and the
IP Address
will be displayed.
(Please
refer to
Checking the IP Address
in the
Networking Basics
section of
this manual.)
If it is necessary to assign a
Static IP Address
to the wireless adapter,
please refer to the appropriate section in
Networking Basics
.
If you are
entering a
DNS Server address
you must also enter the
Default
Gateway Address.
(Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router,
you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. See
Networking
Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.
