connection type is RFC 1483 Bridged, RFC 2516 PPPoE, or RFC 2364 PPPoA, or Bridged Mode Only.
Please refer to the Setup section of “Chapter 5: Configuring the ADSL2 Modem” for details on Internet
connection settings. Verify that the VPI and VCI settings are correct.
2.
Make sure you have the right cable. Check to see if the Modem column has a solidly lit ADSL LED.
3.
Make sure the cable connecting from your Modem’s ADSL port is connected to the wall jack of the
ADSL service line.

I forgot my password, or the password prompt always appears when I am saving settings to the
Gateway.
•
Reset the Modem to factory default by pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds and then releasing it. If
you are still getting prompted for a password when saving settings, then perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Modem’s web-based utility by going to http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the Modem.
Enter the default username and password
admin
, and click the
Administrations
=>
Management
tab.
2.
Enter a different password in the Modem Password field, and enter the same password in the second
field to confirm the password.
3.
Click the
Save Settings
button.
4.
To start over, I need to set the Modem to factory default.
Hold the
Reset
button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will return the Internet settings, password,
forwarding, and other settings on the Modem to the factory default settings. In other words, the Modem will
revert to its original factory configuration.
5.
I need to upgrade the firmware.
In order to upgrade the firmware with the latest features, you need to go to the Linksys website and download
the latest firmware at www.linksys.com/international.
•
Follow these steps:
1.
Go to the Linksys website at http://www.linksys.com/international and download the latest firmware.
2.
To upgrade the firmware, follow the steps in the Administration section found in
“Chapter 5:
Configuring the ADSL2 Modem.”
6.
My DSL service’s PPPoE is always disconnecting.
PPPoE is not actually a dedicated or always-on connection.
The DSL ISP can disconnect the service after a
period of inactivity, just like a normal phone dial-up connection to the Internet.
•
There is a setup option to “keep alive” the connection.
This may not always work, so you may need to re-
establish connection periodically.
1.
To connect to the Modem, go to the web browser, and enter http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the
Modem.
2.
Enter the username and password, if asked. (The default username and password is admin.)

Click the
Save Settings
button. Click the
Status
tab, and click the
Connect
button.

7.
The Power LED flashes continuously.
The Power LED lights up when the device is first powered up. In the meantime, the system will boot up itself
and check for proper operation. After finishing the checking procedure, the LED remains steady to show that
the system is working fine. If the LED continues to flash after this time, the device is not working properly. Try
to flash the firmware by assigning a static IP address to the computer, and then upgrade the firmware. Try
using the following settings, IP Address: 192.168.1.50 and Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
8.
When I enter a URL or IP address, I get a time-out error or am prompted to retry.
•
Check if other computers work. If they do, ensure that your computer’s IP settings are correct (IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS). Restart the computer that is having a problem.
•
If the computers are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
Modem. Ensure that it is
connected and powered on. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the
LAN and power connections.)
•
Manually configure the TCP/IP settings with a DNS address provided by your ISP.
•
Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For Internet
Explorer, click
Tools
,
Internet Options
, and then the
Connection
tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is
set to
Never dial a connection
. For Netscape Navigator, click
Edit
,
Preferences
,
Advanced
, and
Proxy
.
Make sure that Netscape Navigator is set to
Direct connection to the Internet
