TROUBLESHOOTING

SET-UP AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS

1.  HOW DO I CONFIGURE MY DSL-2740B 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-2740B 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 run the Setup Wizard.

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.
