Troubleshooting
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the LevelOne
Broadband Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and
the LevelOne Broadband Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further
advice.
General Problems
Problem 1: Can't connect to the LevelOne Broadband Router to configure it.
Solution 1: Check the following:
• The LevelOne Broadband Router is properly installed, LAN connections
are OK, and it is powered ON.
• Ensure that your PC and the LevelOne Broadband Router are on the
same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the
case.)
• If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client),
restart it.
• If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compati-
ble with the LevelOne Broadband Router's default IP Address of
192.168.0.1.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the
LevelOne Broadband Router.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-
Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
Internet Access
Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Solution 1: A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting
steps.
• Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are
correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask,
Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.
• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
LevelOne Broadband Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Con-
nect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the
LAN and power connections.)
• If the LevelOne Broadband Router is configured correctly, check your
Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working cor-
