If your cable data gateway can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any 
web pages from the Internet, it might be for one of the following reasons:

Your computer might 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 cable service provider provides the 

addresses of one, two, or three DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address 
when you set up the cable data gateway, reboot your computer and verify the DNS 
address. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses,

For information about TCP/IP problems, see

Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes occurred, but the 
old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.

If you experience trouble connecting over WiFi to the cable data gateway, try to isolate the 
problem.

Does the WiFi device that you are using find your WiFi network?

If not, check the 2.4 GHz LED or 5 GHz LED (or, for model N450, the WiFi LED) on the 
front panel of the cable data gateway. If a LED is off, the corresponding WiFi radio in the 
cable data gateway is off. For information about turning on the WiFi radio, see 

109. When the WiFi radio is turned on, the LED starts blinking green 

or lights solid green.

If you disabled the cable data gateway’s SSID broadcast, your WiFi network is hidden 
and does not display in your WiFi client’s scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is
