- d. Open your web browser and enter 192.168.3.1 into the web address bar.

PROBLEM:
- I am having problems with features on the Web Menu. When clicking buttons, it does not register my action.
SOLUTIONS:

PROBLEM:
- I have a DSL connection and I am not able to access the Internet through the High Power Router.
SOLUTIONS:
- a. Your Internet provider may require that you enter your login information to access the Internet. To enter your information, go to Manual Configuration from the Smart Setup Wizard and access the PPPoE menu from the dropdown menu. Enter the required login information for your Internet provider.
PROBLEM:
- The Smart Setup Wizard could not automatically configure my Internet connection.
SOLUTIONS:
- a. Reset your Modem by holding down the reset button located on the back of the Modem for approximately 5 seconds. Try again.
- b. Reboot the High Power Router by unplugging the power adapter and plugging it back in.
- c. Static IP: Your Internet connection may require a static IP setting. Check with your ISP to obtain the IP settings.
- d. DSL Connection: Your Internet connection may require login information. If you are using PPPoE mode, you will need to manually configure your Internet connection settings and obtain your username and password.

PROBLEM:
- I am not getting maximum signal strength on my wireless signal display when connecting to the High Power Router.
SOLUTIONS:

The speed and signal are at 100%, however, your wireless network adapter readout may not be displaying correctly.
- b. Change the wireless channel on the High Power Router to 11 or 1 and try again. There may be wireless interference in your installation environment.
PROBLEM:

SOLUTIONS:
- a. Make sure the High Power Router is powered on.
