Safety Precautions
Before operating GW-WR151N, read the following precaution information carefully: Use the type of power that user manual marks. Use the power adapter that is packed within the device package. Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or the prolonged lines. An overburden power outlet or damaged lines and plugs may cause electric shock or fire accident. Check the power cords regularly. If you find any damage, replace it at once. Leave proper space for heat dissipation to avoid damage caused by device overheating. Heat dissipation holes enable the device to work normally. Do not cover heat dissipation holes. Keep the device away from heat outlets, high temperature places, and direct sunlight. Keep the device in dry places. Do not spill any liquid on this device. Do not connect the device to any PC or electronic product unless our customer engineer or your broadband provider instructs you to do this, because any wrong connection may cause power or fire risks. Do not place this device on an unstable surface.

83

GW-WR151N
(1) Use a computer of wired connection to connect the router. (2) Check the network security settings. (3) Try hard reset on the router. Because the router cannot be detected. (1) Try hard reset on the router and test again. (2) Check the settings of the wireless network. (3) Check the settings of SSID and encryption.

Failure to connect to the Internet through the wireless router

(1) Place the router to the wireless area where the CPE can connect. (2) Check whether the wireless network card connects to the correct AP (base station). (3) Check whether the wireless channel accords with the channel specified in your country or region. (4) Check the encryption settings. (5) Check whether your ADSL cable is connected to the correct network interfaces. (6) Replace with a new network cable to connect to the router.

Failure to access the Internet

(1) Check whether the status of indicators on the ADSL modem and the wireless router is normal. (2) Check whether the WAN indicator is on. If the WAN indicator is off, check whether the cable connected to the WAN interface is loose. (3) When the Link indicator keeps on but does not blink, the router is connected to the Internet. (4) Reboot your computer. (5) Set the AP again. (6) Check whether the WAN indicator is on. (7) Check the encryption settings of the wireless network.
