7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, try these common solutions:

7.1. No Internet Access

• Check all cable connections (WAN, LAN, Power). Ensure they are securely plugged in.
• Verify that your modem is working correctly and has an active internet connection.
• Restart both your modem and router. Unplug their power adapters, wait 30 seconds, then plug the modem back in. Once the modem is fully online, plug the router back in.
• Log into the router's web interface and check the WAN status. Ensure your internet connection type (DHCP, PPPoE, etc.) is correctly configured.

7.2. Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi

• Ensure the router is powered on and the wireless indicator is active.
• Verify you are selecting the correct Wi-Fi network (SSID) and entering the correct password.
• Move closer to the router to rule out range issues.
• Try restarting the router.

7.3. Slow Internet Speed

• Ensure your router is placed in a central location, away from obstructions and interference sources (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
• Check if multiple devices are heavily using the network.
• Update your router's firmware.
• Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to check your internet line speed.

7.4. Forgot Router Login Password

If you forget the router's login password, you can perform a factory reset. Locate the Reset button on the rear panel. With the router powered on, use a paperclip or similar pointed object to press and hold the Reset button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicators flash. The router will restart with factory default settings, and you can then log in using the default credentials (usually found on a sticker on the router or in the Quick Installation Guide).
