This section describes tips for troubleshooting some common problems.



Unplug and turn off the cable modem. 

Turn off the WiFi bridge/extender and computers.

Plug in the cable modem and turn it on. Wait two minutes.

Turn on the WiFi bridge/extender and wait two minutes.

Turn on the computers.

Make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in. 

The Internet LED on the WiFi bridge/extender is lit when the Ethernet cable connecting the 
WiFi bridge/extender and the modem is plugged in securely and the modem and WiFi 
bridge/extender are turned on. 

For each powered-on computer connected to the WiFi bridge/extender by an Ethernet cable, 
the corresponding numbered WiFi bridge/extender LAN port LED is lit. 

Make sure that the wireless settings in the computer and WiFi bridge/extender match exactly. 

For a wirelessly connected computer, the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless 
security settings of the WiFi bridge/extender and wireless computer must match exactly. 

If you set up an access list in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, you must add each 
wireless computer’s MAC address to the WiFi bridge/extender’s access list.

Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct/

Wired and wirelessly connected computers must have network IP addresses on the same 
network as the WiFi bridge/extender. The simplest way to meet this requirement is to 
configure each computer to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. 

Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer 
initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address in the Attached Devices 
screen (see 

36).
