Christopher HaleAug 13, 2025
If the power LED on your SMC Networks Wireless Router is off, start by checking the connections between the Barricade, the external power supply, and the wall outlet. If the power indicator still doesn't turn on when plugged in, there may be an issue with the power outlet, power cord, or external power supply. Also, if the unit powers off after running, check for loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the external power supply may be defective and it is recommended to contact Technical Support for assistance.

Jonathan TaylorSep 9, 2025
If you cannot ping the SMC Networks Barricade from the attached LAN, or the Barricade cannot ping any device on the attached LAN, first verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. For most applications, you should use the Barricade’s DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses to hosts on the attached LAN. If you manually configure IP addresses on the LAN, verify that the same network address and subnet mask are used for both the Barricade and any attached LAN devices. Ensure that the device you want to ping has been configured for TCP/IP.
