Troubleshooting

The PPPoE or PPPoA connection can be debugged as follows:

Access the main menu of the router at http://192.168.0.1.

Under Maintenance, select Router Status.

Click Connection Status.

If all of the steps indicate “OK” then your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is up and working.

If any of the steps indicates “Failed”, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The 
wireless-N modem router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.

If you cannot connect after several minutes, you may be using an incorrect service name, user 
name, or password. There also may be a provisioning problem with your ISP.

If your wireless-N modem router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any 
Web pages from the Internet:

•

Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses. 

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) 
to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS 
servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the wireless-N modem router’s 
configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address as described in 

. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with 

DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.

•

Your computer may not have the wireless ADSL modem router configured as its TCP/IP 
default gateway.

If your computer obtains its information from the wireless-N modem router by DHCP, reboot 
the computer and verify the wireless-N modem router address as described in 

Unless you connect manually, the wireless-N modem router will not authenticate 
using PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the network.
