I am unable to communicate with the Wireless MAXg Bridge.
Possible Solution:
Your Wireless MAXg Bridge may not be responding. Try unplugging the power supply and then
plugging it back in to restart the Bridge.
Possible Solution:
Your Wireless MAXg Bridge may not have received a valid IP address for your network. If the IP
address is set to Dynamic, make sure you have the Wireless MAXg Bridge connected to a network
device with DHCP enabled (i.e. router). If it is not connected to a network device with DHCP
enabled, the Wireless MAXg Bridge will not receive an IP address and you will not be able to con-
nect to it. If you use a static IP address for your Wireless MAXg Bridge, 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 Bridge may not be responding. Try restoring the factory default settings of
the Wireless MAXg Bridge to reactivate it. If you restore the factory default settings, the Wireless
MAXg Bridge 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 Bridge to my
wireless router or access point.
Possible Solution:
If you are using Bridge mode, be certain that your wireless router or access point supports WDS.
If it does not, you will not be able to use Bridge mode to establish a wireless connection with the
Wireless MAXg Bridge. You can still use Infrastructure mode or Ad hoc mode without WDS.
Possible Solution:
If you are restricting users in your networking device, make sure the Bridge is added to the list. If
If you are attempting a wired connection, make sure the MAC address of the Wireless MAXg
Bridge is entered. If you are attempting a wireless connection, make sure the WLAN MAC address
of the Wireless MAXg Bridge is entered.
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 Wireless MAXg Bridge is
set to the same channel as your wireless router or access point. To reduce any potential interfer-
ence, change the channel. Make sure you set all these network devices to the same channel.
My Wireless MAXg Bridge is not appearing when I scan for it with a wireless adapter
using Ad hoc mode.
Possible Solution:
You may be on a computer that is physically too far away from the Wireless MAXg Bridge. Try
moving closer to the Wireless MAXg Bridge and repeating the scan procedure.
