up your router, follow these troubleshooting steps.

Make sure that your modem is connected to power and is turned on. If it has a

power switch, make sure that it is set to the ON or lposition.

If your Internet service is cable, verify that the cable modem’s CABLE port is

connected to the coaxial cable provided by your ISP.

Or, if your Internet service is DSL, make sure that the DSL phone line is

connected to the modem’s DSL port.

If your computer was previously connected to your modem with a USB cable,

disconnect the USB cable.

Install the router again.

Cannot access your router message

have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have accidentally

connected to a different wireless network.

To fix the problem on Windows computers:

1. On your Windows desktop, right-click the wireless icon in the system tray.

The icon can differ depending on your version of Windows.

2. Click View Available Wireless Networks. A list of available networks
