NETGEAR AC1000 User Manual

•
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem and connected devices.
•
Be sure that you are using the correct cables.
When you connect the router’s WAN port to a modem, use the cable that was supplied
with the modem. This cable can be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an
Ethernet crossover cable.
WiFi LED Is Off
If the WiFi LED stays off, check to see if someone pressed the WiFi On/Off button on
the router. This button turns the WiFi radios in the router on and off. The WiFi LED is lit
when the WiFi radios are turned on.
You Cannot Log In to the Router
If you are unable to log in to the router from a computer on your local network and use
the router web interface, check the following:
•
If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the router.
•
Make sure that the IP address of your computer is on the same subnet as the router.
If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address is
in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
•
Make sure that your computer can reach the router’s DHCP server. Recent versions
of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot
reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x.
If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the
router and reboot your computer.
•
If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address,
use an IP scanner application to detect the IP address. If you still cannot find the IP
address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s IP
address to 192.168.1.1. For more information, see Return
the Router to Its Factory
Default Settings on page 98 and Factory Settings on page 136.

and the default password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you
enter this information.
