check if you can get connected to Internet

with your computer directly attached to the

device provided by your Internet service

provider.

d.

Check PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and

password again.

e.

Call your Internet service provide and check

if there’s something wrong with their

service.

f.

If you just can’t connect to one or more

website, but you can still use other internet

services, please check URL/Keyword filter.

g.

Try to reset the router and try again later.

h.

Reset the device provided by your Internet

service provider too.

i.

Try to use IP address instead of hostname. If

you can use IP address to communicate with

a remote server, but can’t use hostname,

please check DNS setting.

I can’t locate my

router by my wireless

client

a.

‘Broadcast ESSID’ set to off?

b.

All three antennas are properly secured.

c.

Are you too far from your router? Try to get

closer.

d.

Please remember that you have to input

ESSID on your wireless client manually, if

ESSID broadcast is disabled.

File download is very

slow or breaks

frequently

a.

Are you using QoS function? Try to disable

it and try again.

b.

Internet is slow sometimes, being patient.

c.

Try to reset the router and see if it’s better

after that.

d.

Try to know what computers do on your

local network. If someone’s transferring big

files, other people will think Internet is

really slow.

e.

If this never happens before, call you

Internet service provider to know if there is

something wrong with their network.

I can’t log onto web

management interface:

password is wrong

a.

Make sure you’re connecting to the correct

IP address of the router!

b.

Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the

‘Caps Lock’ light is not illuminated.

c.

If you really forget the password, do a hard

reset.

Router become hot

a.

This is not a malfunction, if you can keep

your hand on the router’s case.

b.

If you smell something wrong or see the

smoke coming out from router or A/C

power adapter, please disconnect the router

and A/C power adapter from utility power

(make sure it’s safe before you’re doing

this!), and call your dealer of purchase for

help.

4-3 Glossary

Default Gateway (Router):

Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default

gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on

the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will

then send it out towards the destination.

DHCP:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every

computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address:

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet

servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP

addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and

their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is

requested (as in typing "Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is

sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your

home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem:

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing

phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet:

A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special

cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

Idle Timeout

: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a

pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected.

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask:

IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address

consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, which identifies a single,

unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2

portions: the IP network address, and the host identifier.

The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded

decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything

from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”:

Page 149 / 151

148

bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.

A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading

1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as

11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also

be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.

When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address

that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and

the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.

For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,

11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,

11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000

It means the device’s network address is

11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,

00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for

routers to route IP packets to their destination.

ISP Gateway Address:

(see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP

address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office.

ISP:

Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the

Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.

LAN:

Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected

together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is

considered a LAN.

MAC Address:

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware

address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a

device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that

corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are

often used as the product’s serial number.

NAT:

Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your

home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband router’s NAT capability, you

can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to

purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and

protocol/port numbers:

PPPoE:

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data

transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet

connections.

PPPoE

relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the

Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting information over

Ethernet between different manufacturers

Protocol:

A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties

so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of

their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or

misunderstanding.

Router:

A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different

networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.
