SET-UP AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS
1. HOW DO I CONFIGURE MY DSL-2740M ROUTER WITHOUT THE CD, OR CHECK MY
WIRELESS NETWORK NAME (SSID) AND WIRELESS ENCRYPTION KEY?
- Connect your PC to the router using an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.1
- The default username is ‘admin’. The default password is 'admin'.
- If you have changed the password and can not remember it, you will need to reset the router to
set the password back to 'admin'.
2. HOW DO I RESET MY DSL-2740M ROUTER TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS?
- Ensure the router is powered on.
- Press and hold the reset button on the rear of the device for 10 seconds.
Note: Resetting the router to factory default will erase the current configuration settings.
To re-configure your settings, log into the router as outlined in question 1, then follow the steps
in the 'SETUP YOUR MODEM ROUTER SECTION' of this QIG
3. HOW DO I ADD A NEW WIRELESS CLIENT OR PC IF I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY
WIRELESS NETWORK NAME (SSID) OR WIRELESS ENCRYPTION KEY?
- Every PC that needs to connect to the router wirelessly, you will need to ensure you use the
correct Wireless Network Name (SSID) and encryption key.
- Use the web based user interface (as described in question 1 above) to check or choose your
wireless settings.
- Make sure you write down these settings so that you can enter them into each wirelessly
connected PC. You will find a dedicated area on the back of this document to record this
important information for future use.
4. WHY CAN I NOT GET AN INTERNET CONNECTION?
- Please contact your ISP to make sure the service has been enabled/connected by your ISP and
that your ISP username and password is correct.
