Let’s start with a common wireless LAN failure.
Wireless LAN (hereinafter referred to as WLAN) has quietly entered our work and life with the gradual maturity of the technology and the reduction of the product cost. However, the popularity of large-scale WLAN and broadband also makes related faults happen. Let's look at the common wireless LAN faults and their solutions by routerlogin.net experts.
Error 1: Unable to log in to the wireless router for setup
Hardware faults are mostly - connector’s looseness, network cable breakage, hub damage, and computer system failure. It is generally possible to locate these failures by observing the indicator light. In addition, voltage is not normal, the temperature is too high, and lightning strikes, etc. are also prone to Netgear router setup failure. Given below are the solutions:
Method 1: Check the data signal indicator on the router. The power lamp intermittently flashes normally. If it is not normal, first check the connected broadband line. You can re-plug it with different network cables. Check the network connection on the computer, reset the IP address, if you do not succeed in obtaining the IP address automatically, manually set the IP and disable the network firewall function used by the system.
Method 2: Select Connect in the system IE connection settings. Thereafter, clear all options opened in LAN Settings. Enter the address of the router for the Netgear wireless router login.
Third Option: To restore the router to factory settings and reinstall the drivers, login ID, and password.
If the above solution is still not resolved, please contact the manufacturer and check the conflict between the hardware.
Error 2: Can be on MSN but cannot open the web page
The router is an address translation device, when you or the person you are communicating with is located in the firewall or when behind a router, it prevents the two sides to directly connect to the Internet. In this case, both parties are requested whether the network address used by the conversion device supports UPnP technology or not. See the router manual for this.
Method 1: Individual routers need to set UPnP to “Enable” in the LAN settings.
Method 2: It may be caused by a virus. You can open the resource manager to view resource usage and CPU usage - if the occupancy rate is very high, it is likely to be infected with a virus. It can be killed by anti-virus software.
Method 3: Check the IE file, if it is damaged, download the new IE for installation or repair it with the operating system using the Netgear router login page.
Error 3: Network intermittent
General wireless routers will provide three or more connection methods. Most wireless routers will be set to "on-demand connection by default, and automatically connect when there is access data” That is to say, at regular intervals, it will detect whether there is no line no-load, and once there is no data interaction after the connection, it will automatically disconnect.
Method 1: You need to enter the wireless router setup interface, and in the connection mode select "automatic connection, and disconnection of power after usage”.
Method 2: Check if the network has a network virus attack, which is likely to be an ARP network attack. Enter the NIC properties, manually set the IP, and replace the new IP address. If you continue to drop the cable, use professional anti-attack software for defense. For this, you can get in touch with Netgear router experts.
Error 4: The network speed is too slow
First, it may be caused by the busy WEB server, and secondly, it may be caused by weak wireless signals.
Method 1: If the WEB server is busy, it is not something that our users can solve. You can try again after a while.
Method 2: In the wireless LANs used by enterprises, the location of wireless routers is often overlooked. Improper placement of the wireless router is a direct cause of weak signals.
The solution is simple:
First, place the router in a relatively high position;
Second, the placement and receiving end should not be separated by cement walls.
Third, try to place it in the center of the user premise.
So these are all the common Netgear router WiFi errors faced by the users and their appropriate solutions. In case if something is missed, comment below.
