  If your SMC Networks Wireless Router Barricade cannot be detected by a wireless client, it could be due to the distance between the Barricade and the wireless PC being too great. Also, ensure that the wireless PC has the same SSID and security settings as the Barricade.

What to do if I cannot ping the Barricade or any device on the attached LAN using my SMC Networks Wireless Router?

  If you cannot ping the Barricade from the attached LAN, or the Barricade cannot ping any device on the attached LAN using your SMC Networks Wireless Router, verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. For most applications, 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. Also, ensure that the device you want to ping has been configured for TCP/IP.

  If the power LED is off on your SMC Networks Wireless Router, check the connections between the Barricade, the external power supply, and the wall outlet. If the power indicator remains off when plugged in, there may be an issue with the power outlet, power cord, or external power supply. If the unit powers off after running, check for loose power connections or power issues at the outlet.
