N150 WiFi Router (N150R)
2.
Select Management > Router Status.
3.
Click Connection Status. If all of the steps indicate OK, then your PPPoE connection is up and working.
If any of the steps indicate Failed, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name, user name, or password. There also might be a provisioning problem with your ISP.
Note:
Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate using PPPoE until data is transmitted to the network.
Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages from the Internet, check the following:
• 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 ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, restart your computer.
Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as explained in the documentation for your computer.
• Your computer might not have the router configured as its default gateway.
Reboot the computer and verify that the router address (www.mywifirouter.com) is listed by your computer as the default gateway address.
• You might be running log in software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that software after installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select
Tools > Internet Options , click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection .
Changes Not Saved
If the router does not save the changes you make in the router interface, check the following:
• When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.
