If your gateway broadcasts its network name, you can use your computer's wireless
utility to scan for it. (This is typically called a "site survey.") If the utility cannot
detect the gateway, it may be a signal problem.
2. Ensure that the computer's wireless utility is using the correct network name and
security settings for your gateway.
Settings such as network name, security method (WPA, WEP, etc.), and security keys
must all match. So if your gateway is using WPA encryption, each wireless card or
adapter must support WPA encryption. If you are using a wireless PC card, PCI
adapter, or USB adapter that does not support WPA encryption, you will not be able
to connect to the gateway unless you use WEP encryption instead. Please refer to the
configuration section of the User Guide on the USRobotics installation CD-ROM for
information on changing the security settings.
3. If you have enabled MAC filtering on the gateway, is this computer permitted to
connect to your gateway?
Please note that MAC filtering refers to specific wireless adapters. If you use MAC
filtering and have added a new wireless adapter to the network, you must add the
MAC address of the new wireless adapter to the gateway.
NOTE: If you need to modify the ADSL Gateway's settings, you'll need a computer with a
wired connection to the gateway in order to access it.
If these steps fail to establish a wireless connection, please try a wired connection
between your computer and your gateway. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to your
computer's LAN port and to a LAN port on the gateway. Then ensure that the
corresponding LAN port LED is lighted. Then please restart your computer.
Step 2: Is your Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway responding?
Open your Web browser to the gateway's address: http://192.168.1.1
NOTE: If you can open the gateway's Web user interface with a wired connection but not
with a wireless connection, the problem is with the wireless connection. Please see the
documentation for your wireless adapter.
If the gateway's Web user interface appears, please go to Step 3.
If the gateway's Web user interface doesn't appear, the gateway may need to be restored
to the default factory settings. (Please note that you will lose all of your gateway's custom
settings and will need to set it up again as if you were installing it for the first time. If you've
made a backup of the settings, you will be able to restore them. Please see the User Guide
on the USRobotics installation CD-ROM for more information.)
