Note: Some versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address
if a device cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses are in the
range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from
the device to the access point and reboot your device.

You cannot access the Internet [router mode]
If the access point is in router mode and you can log in to the access point’s local browser
UI but cannot get an Internet connection, check if the access point can obtain an IP
address from your Internet service provider (ISP).
Check the Internet WAN IP address [router mode]
If the access point is in router mode, unless your ISP provides a fixed IP address, the
access point requests an IP address from your ISP. You can determine whether the
request was successful.
To check the Internet WAN IP address:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
3. Enter the access point local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
