Troubleshooting Tips
Problem: I entered http://setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open
the Web Menu
- a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Smart Access Point wirelessly and NOT using a network cable. Ensure the power is plugged in and on. Try to access the setup menu again.
- b. Enter the following web address into your web browser instead of ‘setup.ampedwireless.com’: http://192.168.1.240
- c. Power off (unplug the power adapter) the Smart Access Point and power it back on. Try again.
- d. Reset your Smart Access Point to default settings by holding the Reset Button (located on the back panel) for ten (10) seconds and try again.
Problem: I do not have Internet access when connecting to the Smart Access Point
- a. Your router or original network may not have Internet access. First, check to see if you can access the Internet by connecting directly with your router. If you cannot, there is a problem with your router that needs to be fixed first. If you are able to access the internet, continue with the following troubleshooting options below.
- b. Your router may be using Static IP assignments. If so, you will need to configure a Static IP for the Smart Access Point. Connect your PC to the Smart Access Point using an Ethernet cable. Disconnect your PC from any wireless networks that it may be connected to. Access the web menu at setup.ampedwireless.com using a web browser. Access the IP settings menu from the left-hand navigation bar. Select ‘Disabled’ under the DHCP dropdown menu and enter an IP address that matches your router’s IP settings.
