This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your RUT300 router.

7.1. No Power

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the router and a working power outlet.
• Verify that the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• Check the power adapter for any visible damage.

7.2. No Internet Connection

• Verify that the Ethernet cable from your internet source is securely connected to the WAN port.
• Check the status of your internet service provider's connection (e.g., modem status lights).

• Restart the router and your internet source (modem/upstream router).

7.3. Cannot Access WebUI

• Ensure your computer is connected to one of the LAN ports.
• Verify your computer's IP settings. It should be set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) or have a static IP in the 192.168.1.x range (e.g., 192.168.1.100) with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
• Confirm you are typing the correct IP address: 192.168.1.1.
