Troubleshooting

Router not powering on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the router and a working power outlet. Check if the power LED indicator is lit.

No internet connection

Verify WAN cable connections. Confirm your ISP settings (e.g., PPPoE username/password, IP address) are correctly entered in the router's configuration. Check the status lights on the router and modem.

Slow network speed

Check the router's throughput and QoS settings. Ensure no single device is consuming excessive bandwidth. Clean router filters or check for physical obstructions on wired connections. Update router firmware.

Unable to connect to VPN

Double-check VPN server address, credentials, and encryption settings on both the router and the client device. Ensure firewall rules are not blocking VPN traffic. Verify VPN tunnel status in the router's interface.

Wi-Fi issues (if applicable via external access point)

This router primarily focuses on wired connectivity. For Wi-Fi, ensure any connected access points are configured correctly. Check channel interference and signal strength.
