Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream AX6000 WiFi Router
Troubleshooting 147 User Manual
WiFi Settings
Make sure that the WiFi settings in the computer and router match exactly. The WiFi network
name (SSID) and WiFi security settings of the router and WiFi computer must match exactly.
If you set up an access list on the Advanced Wireless Settings page, you must add each WiFi
computer’s MAC address to the router’s access list.
Network Settings
Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct. Wired computers and
computers that are connected over WiFi must use network IP addresses on the same network as
the router. The simplest way to do this is to configure each computer to obtain an IP address
automatically using DHCP.
Some service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer initially registered
on the account. You can view the MAC address on the Attached Devices page.
Troubleshoot With the LEDs
By default, the router is set with standard LED settings.
Standard LED Behavior When the Router Is Powered On
After you turn on power to the router, verify that the following sequence of events occurs:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is lit.
2. After about two minutes, verify the following:
• The Power LED is lit.
• The Internet LED is lit.
• The WiFi LED is lit (unless you turned off the WiFi radio).
You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.
Power LED Is Off or Blinking
This could occur for a number of reasons. Check the following:
• Make sure that the power adapter is securely connected to your router and securely
connected to a working power outlet.
• Make sure that you are using the power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product.
