FAQs

What Can I Do If I Cannot Open the Web Management Page?

1.

Open Internet Explorer. Choose

Tools

>

Internet Options

>

Connections

>

LAN settings

,

and ensure that all check boxes are deselected.

2.

Check that the computer IP address is 192.168.1.*. (* is any integer from 2 to 254.)

3.

Check that the cables are securely connected to the HG552e and that the LAN port's

indicator is on.

4.

Ensure that the user name and password are correct.

If the problem persists, restore the HG552e to its default settings.

What Can I Do If the HG552e Cannot Access the Internet through a

Wireless Network Adapter Sometimes or If the WLAN Connection Is

Unsteady?

This is probably because the HG552e has its cables connected loosely, is placed too close to

electronic appliances with intensive interference, or is too far from the computer. Verify that:

1.

The power and telephone cables are correctly connected to the HG552e.

2.

Your computer and the HG552e are far from electric appliances that generate strong

magnetic or electric fields, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, and cordless telephones.

3.

The HG552e is in an open area, and there are no obstacles, such as concrete or wooden

walls, between the HG552e and computer.

4.

The HG552e is close to the computer.

5.

The angle between the HG552e and computer is appropriate.

Do not use the HG552e during thunderstorms, as the signal strength may be unsteady and

the HG552e itself may be damaged due to lightning strikes.

What Can I Do If I Cannot Access the Internet?

1.

Check that the

Power

indicator on the HG552e is steady on. If the

Power

indicator is off,

perform further checks as follows:

a)

Check that the HG552e is turned on.

b)

Check that electricity comes from the socket and that the power input from the socket

meets the requirements described on the label of the HG552e's power adapter. If the

voltage is unstable, for example, if the voltage is too high or too low, do not use the

HG552e. Wait until the voltage recovers, and then use the HG552e.

c)

Check that the HG552e is securely connected to the socket using its power adapter.

If the

Power

indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.

2.

After powering on the HG552e, wait for about 3 minutes. Then check whether the

ADSL

indicator turns steady on.

a)

Check that the telephone line is correctly and securely connected, especially the

connection between the telephone line and the splitter.

b)

Check that the HG552e and telephone line are located far from any electric appliances

that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Replace the telephone line when

necessary.

If the

ADSL

indicator is still off, contact your network service provider.

3.

Check whether the

LAN

indicator is on. If the

LAN

indicator is off, perform further checks as

follows:

a)

Check that the network adapter on your computer is enabled.

b)

Check that the network cable between the HG552e and the computer is securely

connected. Remove and then insert the network cable or replace the network cable when

necessary.

If the

LAN

indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.

4.

Check that the driver for the network adapter is correctly installed. The following example

uses a computer running the Windows XP operating system to check whether the driver for

the network adapter is installed:

a)

Right-click

My Computer

, and choose

Manage

from the displayed shortcut menu.

b)

In the

Computer Management

window, click

Device Manager

.

c)

In the right pane of the

Computer Management

window, click

Network adapters

.

If no network adapter is found or if a question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!) is displayed

next to the network adapter icon, the driver for the network adapter is not correctly installed.

Re-install the driver.

5.

Check that PPP dial-up software is installed and parameters are set correctly. For details

about parameter settings, see the user guide for the PPP dial-up software.

6.

Check that you have entered the correct user name and password required by the PPP dial-

up software. The user name and password are provided by your network service provider.

7.

Check that you can use the PPP dial-up software to set up dial-up connection. If the dial-up

connection fails, perform further checks as follows:

a)

Close the PPP dial-up software, and power off the HG552e. After 5 minutes, power on

the HG552e, and use the PPP dial-up software to dial again.

b)

Restore the HG552e to its default settings.

If the problem persists, contact your network service provider.

8.

Check that the proxy server of the browser is correctly configured. The following example

uses Internet Explorer on the Windows XP operating system to check whether the proxy

server of the browser is correctly configured:

a)

Launch Internet Explorer.

b)

Choose

Tools

>

Internet Options
