following:
• When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to
another menu or tab, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but
the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.

Troubleshooting the ISP Connection

If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should check the ADSL connection, then the
Internet TCP/IP connection.

ADSL link

If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you have an
ADSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the Internet
LED.
ADSL Internet LED Green or Blinking Green
If your ADSL Internet LED is green or blinking green, then you have a good ADSL connection.
You can be confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your
wiring is correct.
ADSL Internet LED Blinking Yellow
If your ADSL Internet LED is blinking yellow, then your wireless ADSL modem router is
attempting to make an ADSL connection with the service provider. The LED should turn green
within several minutes.
If the Internet LED does not turn green, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the
problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being careful to use a microfilter on each
telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your
telephones.
