Frequently Asked Questions
Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400
practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a
computer logs onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for
the network.
How do I reset the Router?
Press the Reset button on the back panel for about ten seconds. This will reset the Router to its default settings.
How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every obstacle placed between
the Router and a wireless PC will create signal loss. Lead glass, metal, concrete floors, water and walls will
inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with the Router and your wireless PC in the same room and move it
away in small increments to determine the maximum range in your environment.
You may also try using different channels, as this may eliminate interference affecting only one channel.
I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see my network.
Wireless security is probably enabled on the Router, but not on your wireless adapter (or vice versa). Verify that
the same wireless security method and settings are being used on all devices of your wireless network.
How many channels/frequencies are available with the Router?
There are eleven channels, ranging from 1 to 11 in most of North, Central, and South America, and thirteen
channels, ranging from 1 to 13, in most of Europe and Asia. There may be additional channels available in other
regions, subject to the regulations of your region and/or country.
