Sequence to Restart Your Network

Restart your network in the following sequence:

4. Turn on the Trek and wait two minutes.
5. Turn on the computers.

Check Ethernet Cable Connections

Make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.
The Internet status LED on the Trek is lit if the Ethernet cable connecting the Trek and the
modem is plugged in securely and the modem and Trek are turned on.

Wireless Settings

Make sure that the wireless settings in the computer and Trek match exactly.
For a wirelessly connected computer, the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless
security settings of the Trek and wireless computer must match exactly.
If you set up an access list in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, you must add each
wireless computer's MAC address to the Trek's access list.

Network Settings

Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct.
Wired and wirelessly connected computers must have network (IP) addresses on the same
network as the Trek. The simplest way to set this up is to configure each computer to obtain
an IP address automatically using DHCP.
Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer
initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address in the Attached Devices
screen.
