• If you are using the Travel Router with multiple users, it works as a secondary router. The
primary router may be set up to block parameters such as ftp or TCPIP. Check the settings on
the primary router.
• The Travel Router default IP setting is 192.168.0.1 with the user name of admin and the
password of password. If you connect the Travel Router to another router that also is set as
192.168.0.x, you must change the WGR101 wireless travel router setting so that it does not
conflict.
Check the router status lights to verify correct router operation.
• During normal operation, the Travel Router Power LED is solid green, and the Ethernet and
Wireless LEDS are solid green, or flashing during data transfer.
• If the Power light does not turn solid green within 2 minutes after turning on the router, reset
the router according to the instructions in “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password”
on page 7-5.

• If the status lights are normal and there is no Internet connection, use an Ethernet cable to
connect the PC directly to the RJ45 slot in the wall. If you are able to connect to the Internet,
this indicates a problem with the wireless connection or the SSID.
Make sure the wireless settings in the computer and router are set correctly.
• The Wireless Network Name (SSID) and WEP settings of the router and wireless computer
must match exactly. The SSID is case sensitive.
• If you are a single user and are not using WEP security, another user may be connected to this
SSID. Repower the Travel Router to clear the connection, and retry. If the problem persists,
configure the router to use WEP to reserve the connection for you.
• When working in the default single user configuration, only one connection to the Internet is
allowed.
