If your gateway’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address,
clear the gateway’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the gateway’s IP address to
192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in
“Restoring Factory Default Configuration
Settings” on page 4-5
.

Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin

information.
If the gateway does not save changes you have made, check the following:
•
When entering configuration settings, be sure to click
Apply

Troubleshooting the ISP Connection
If your gateway is unable to access the Internet and your Online LED is on, you might need to
register the Cable MAC Address and Device MAC Address of you gateway with your cable
service provider.
Additionally, your PC may not have the gateway configured as its TCP/IP gateway. If your PC
obtains its information from the gateway by DHCP, reboot the PC and verify the gateway address
as described in
“Preparing a Computer for Network Access:” in Appendix B
.

Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet
to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP
network is made easier by using the ping utility in your PC or workstation.
