What can I do if I cannot access the Internet?

Step 1

Check that the

Power

indicator on the HG658 is steady on.

If the

Power

indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:

1. Check that the HG658 is turned on.

2. Check that electricity comes from the socket and that the power

input from the socket meets the requirements described on the

label of the HG658's power adapter. If the voltage is unstable, for

example, if the voltage is too high or too low, do not use the HG658.

Wait until the voltage recovers, and then use the HG658.

Check that the HG658 is securely connected to the socket using its

power adapter.

If the

Power

indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance

center.

Step 2

After powering on the HG658, wait for about 3 minutes. Then

check whether the

WAN

indicator turns steady on.

If the

WAN

indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:

1. Check that the telephone line is correctly and securely connected,

especially the connection between the telephone line and the

splitter.

2. Check that the HG658 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

WAN

indicator is still off, contact your network service

Page 22 / 33

provider.
