Wireless MAXg Range Extender. Refer to your wireless PC card's, PCI adapter's, or USB adapter's
documentation to determine how to change these settings.
Possible Solution:
Your Wireless MAXg Range Extender may not be responding. Try unplugging the power supply
and then plugging it back in to restart the Range Extender.
Possible Solution:
Your Wireless MAXg Range Extender may not have received a valid IP address for your network. If
the IP address is set to Dynamic, make sure you have the Range Extender connected to a network
device with DHCP enabled. If it is not connected to a network device with DHCP enabled, the
Range Extender will not receive an IP address and you will not be able to connect to it. If you use
a static IP address, verify that the static IP address is in the same subnet as your computer's IP
address. Refer to the LAN chapter of the Web User Interface section in the User Guide for more
information about changing the IP address.
Possible Solution:
Your Wireless MAXg Range Extender may not be responding. Try restoring the factory default set-
tings of the Range Extender to reactivate it. If you restore the factory default settings, the Range
Extender will lose any custom settings. Press in and hold the RESET button for between five and
ten seconds. If you made any custom configuration settings, you will need to make the changes
again or restore your settings if you created a backup file.
I am unable to establish a wireless connection from the Wireless MAXg Range
Extender to my wireless router or access point.
Possible Solution:
Be certain that your wireless router or access point supports WDS. If it does not, you will not be
able to establish a wireless connection with the Range Extender.
Possible Solution:
If MAC filtering is enabled in your wireless router or access point, make sure the WLAN MAC
address of the Range Extender is entered into the accepted list so that it is not filtered out.
Possible Solution:
Be certain that you are using the same Network Name (SSID), channel, and security information
as the settings for your existing wireless network.
Possible Solution:
You may be experiencing some wireless interference. Be certain that the Range Extender is set to
the same channel as your wireless router or access point. If they are set to Auto, change the
Range Extender, the wireless router or access point, and all the wireless clients to a specific chan-
nel. Make sure you set all these network devices to the same channel.
Possible Solution:
Try creating a connection to the wireless router or access point using an Ethernet cable. If you are
able to establish a wired connection, go to the Web user Interface of the Range Extender and ver-
ify the wireless settings. These settings should all match those of the existing wireless network.
