Turn off and unplugthe DSL, cable,or fiber modem.
Turn off the modem router.
Plug in the DSL,cable, or fibermodem and turnit on. Waittwo minutes.
Turn on the modem routerand wait twominutes.

If network problems still occur, make sure that your ISP does not require you to use the MAC address of the computer that was used to initially register the ISP account. If your ISP does require that you do this, you must change the modem router MAC addressthat the modem routeruses.

You cannotconnect over an Ethernet cable to the modem router.

Make surethat the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.
Make sure that your computer or device does not use a static IP address but is configured to receive an IP address automatically with DHCP.(For most devices, DHCP is the default setting.)

You cannotconnect over WiFi to the modem router.

Make sure that the WiFisettings in yourWiFi device and modem router match exactly.

For a device thatis connected overWiFi, the WiFinetwork name (SSID)and WiFi security settings of the modem routerand WiFi computer must match exactly.

Make sure thatyour WiFi devicesupports the security that you are using for your WiFi network (WEP, WPA, or WPA2). For information about WiFi security settings,
Make sure thatthe modem router isnot too farfrom your WiFidevice or tooclose. Move your WiFi device near the modem router but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away and see if the signal strength improves.
Make sure that the WiFi signalis not blocked by objects between the modem router

and your WiFi device.

Make surethat the WiFiLED on the modem router isnot off.

If thisLED is off,both WiFi radiosmight be disabled. For more information about the WiFi radios,

Make surethat the modem router’s SSID broadcast is not disabled.

If the modem router’s SSID broadcast is disabled, the WiFi network name is hidden and does not display in your WiFi device’s scanning list. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the network name and the WiFi password. For more information about the SSID broadcast, see Manage the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network.

• Make sure that your WiFi device does not use a static IP address but is configured to receive an IP address automatically with DHCP. (For most devices, DHCP is the default setting.)

Troubleshoot with the LEDs
When you turn on the power, the LEDs light as described here:

Two seconds after the power is first applied, the Power LED lights solid amber for about 10 seconds, turns off for about 20 seconds, and then lights solid amber again.
About two minutes after the power is first applied, the Power LED lights solid white, indicating that the startup procedure is complete and the modem router is ready.
Verify the following:
- The Internet LED is blinking white or solid white.
- The DSL LED is solid white.
- The 2.4 GHz WiFi LED and 5 GHz WiFi LED are blinking white or solid white (unless you turned off the wireless radios).
- A USB 3.0 port LED is blinking white or solid white for any connected USB device.
- An Ethernet port LED is blinking white or solid white for any connected and powered-on Ethernet device.
- The WiFi LED is solid white (unless you turned off the wireless radios).
- The WPS LED is solid white.

Power LED Is Off

If the Power LED and other LEDs are off when your modem router is turned on, do the following:

Make sure that the Power On/Off button on the back is in the on position, that is, it is pushed in.
Make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and that the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.
Make sure that you are using the 12 VDC 3.5A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product.

Power LED Remains Solid Amber

Two seconds after the power is first applied, the Power LED lights solid amber for about 10 seconds, turns off for about 20 seconds, and then lights solid amber again. About two minutes after the power is first applied, the Power LED lights solid white, indicating that the startup procedure is complete and the modem router is ready.
If the Power LED remains solid amber and does not turn solid white, a failure occurred or the modem router is malfunctioning.

If the Power LED does not turn solid white, do the following:

Turn the power off and back on and wait several minutes to see if the modem router recovers.
If the modem router does not recover, ptress and hold the Reset button to return the modem router to its factory settings.

WiFi LED Is Off

If the WiFi LED remains off, check to see if both radios on the modem router are disabled. By default, both radios are enabled and the WiFi LED lights solid white.

You Cannot Log In to the Modem Router

If you are unable to log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network and use the web management interface, check the following:

If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the modem router.
Make sure that the IP address of your computer is on the same subnet as the modem router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address is in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
Make sure that your computer can reach the modem router’s DHCP server. Recent versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router and reboot your computer.
If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, use an IP scanner application to detect the IP address. If you still cannot find the IP address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. For more information, see Return the Modem Router to Its Factory Default Settings on page 238 and Factory Settings on page 309.
Make sure that Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX is enabled in your browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, click the Refresh button to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The user name is admin, and the default password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.
If you are attempting to set up your modem router behind an existing router in your network, set up the modem router as a WiFi access point
If you are attempting to set up your modem router as a replacement for an ADSL gateway in your network, the modem router cannot perform many gateway services. For example, the modem router cannot convert DSL or cable data into Ethernet networking information. NETGEAR does not support such a configuration.

Troubleshoot the Internet Connection

If your modem router cannot access the Internet, check the DSL connection, then the WAN TCP/IP connection.

Troubleshoot the DSL Link
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, first determine whether the DSL link with the service provider is working. The DSL LED indicates the state of this connection.

DSL LED Is Solid White
If the DSL link LED lights solid white, the DSL connection is good.You can be confident that the service provider connected your line correctly and that your wiring is correct.

DSL LED Is Blinking White
If the DSL LED is blinking white , your modem router is attempting to make a DSL connection with the service provider. If the modem router establishes a DSL connection, the DSL LED turns solid white. This connection process generally lasts several minutes.
If the DSL LED does not turn solid white, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you can connect all your telephones.
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a solid white DSL LED, a problem with your wiring might exist. If the telephone company tested the DSL signal at your network interface device (NID), then wiring in your house might be of poor quality.

DSL LED Is Off or Internet LED Is Off
If the DSL LED is off , the Internet LED is off , or both are off, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you can connect all your telephones.

If disconnecting telephones does not result in a blinking white or solid white DSL LED, check the following:

Check to see that the telephone company made the connection to your line and tested it.
Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If more than one phone line is installed, be sure that you are connected to the line with the DSL service. It might be necessary to use a swapper if your DSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 or the RJ-11 jack. The modem router uses pins 2 and 3.

Internet LED Is Off
If the Internet LED is off , the modem router cannot connect to the Internet. Verify the following:

Obtain an Internet IP Address
If the modem router cannot access the Internet but the Internet LED lights solid white, see if the modem router can obtain an Internet IP address from the ISP. Unless the modem router is assigned a static IP address, the modem router requests an IP address from the ISP.You can determine whether the request was successful using the web management interface.

To check the Internet IP address:

Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
A login window opens.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
Select ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
In the Internet Port pane, check to see that the IP Address field shows a valid IP address.
If the field shows 0.0.0.0, your modem router did not obtain an IP address from your ISP.

If your modem router cannot obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be one of the following:

Your Internet service provider (ISP) might require a login program. Ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of login.
If you selected a login program, the service name, user name, or password could be incorrectly set. Before you make any changes, verify that the modem router can get a PPPoE or PPPoA connection
Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name. Assign the computer host name of your ISP account as the account name.
If your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet and checks for your computer’s MAC address, inform your ISP that you bought a new network device and ask them to use the modem router’s MAC address.
Configure your modem router to clone your computer’s MAC address.

Verify the PPPoE or PPPoA Connection
If you use a PPPoE or PPPoA connection to your ISP, make sure that the connection works. To verify that your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is working:

Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
A login window opens.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
Select ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
In the Internet Port pane, check to see that the IP Address field shows a valid IP address and that the Connection field shows PPPoE or PPPoA.
In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.
The Connection Status page displays.
Check the following:
- The Connection Status field shows Connected.
- The Connection Time field does not show 00:00:00.

Reestablish the PPPoE or PPPoA Connection
If your PPPoE or PPPoA configuration information is correct (see Verify the PPPoE or PPPoA Connection on page 302), your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is working.
To reconnect if your PPPoE or PPPoA connection does not function:

Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
A login window opens.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
Select ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.
The Connection Status page displays.
Click the Connect button.
The modem router attempts to reconnect.

If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name, user name, or password. Or your ISP might not be able to provide an Internet connection.

Troubleshoot Internet Browsing
If your modem router 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:

The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit was reached.
By configuring the traffic meter not to block Internet access when the traffic limit is reached, you can resume Internet access. If your ISP sets a usage limit, they might charge you for the overage.
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 when you set up the modem router, reboot your
computer and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.
The modem router might not be configured as the TCP/IP router on your computer.
If your computer obtains its information from the modem router by DHCP, reboot the computer and verify the modem router address.

Changes Are Not Saved

If the modem router does not save the changes that you make in the web management interface, do the following:

When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to another page or tab or your changes are lost.
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. It is possible that the changes occurred but that the old settings remain in the web browser’s cache.
