AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router R6050
• Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name.
Assign the computer host name of your ISP account as the account name in the Internet
Setup screen.
• Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet and might check
for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:
- Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the
router’s MAC address.
- Configure your router to clone your computer’s MAC address.
Troubleshoot Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any web pages
from the Internet, it might be for the following reasons:
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s
configuration, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. You can configure your
computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system
documentation.
• Your computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP gateway.
If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer,
and verify the gateway address.
• You might be running login software that is no longer needed.
If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no
longer need to run that software after installing your router. If you use Internet Explorer as
your browser, you might need to select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections
tab, and select the Never dial a connection check box. Other browsers have similar
options.
Troubleshoot a PPPoE Internet Connection
To troubleshoot a PPPoE Internet connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
