Choose Tools > Internet Options. 3. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Connections tab. 4. In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings area, click LAN Settings. 5. In the Proxy server area of the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box, check that the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections). check box is cleared. Step 9 Try to access more websites to check whether the HG532d can access these websites. If the problem persists, contact your network service provider. What can I do if I cannot access the web-based configuration utility? Step 1 Refer to "What can I do if I cannot access the Internet?" to check that the power supply, telephone line, and network line are working properly. Step 2 Check that the computer's IP address and the HG532d's LAN IP address are in the same network segment, and that the browser is not using a proxy server. To ensure that the computer's IP address and the HG532d's LAN IP address are in the same network segment, you can set the computer to obtain an IP address automatically. Step 3 Check that the correct user name and password are used to log in to the web-based configuration utility. If the problem persists, restore the HG532d to its default settings.
20 For details, see "How can I quickly restore the HG532d to its default settings?" What can I do if I cannot access the Internet over a wireless connection? Step 1 Check that all cables are securely connected, such as the power adapter cable and the telephone line. Step 2 Check whether the WLAN indicator is on. If the WLAN indicator is off, the wireless network function is disabled, and you need to turn on the wireless network function. Step 3 Read the user guide of the wireless network adapter, and check whether the wireless network adapter supports the 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n protocol. If the wireless network adapter does not support any of the preceding protocol, replace it. Step 4 Check whether the driver for the wireless network adapter is correctly installed. If the driver is not correctly installed, re-install it using the driver program provided with the wireless network adapter. Step 5 Check whether the computer receives wireless signals properly. The following example uses the computer running the Windows XP operating system to check wireless signal reception: 1. Choose Start > Control Panel. Double-click Network Connections. 2. In the Network Connections window, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and choose View Available Wireless Networks. If the computer cannot find the wireless network, move the computer closer to the HG532d. Check that there are no obstacles, such as walls, between the computer and the HG532d. Step 6 Check whether the computer is connected to the HG532d's wireless network. On the wireless network list, check whether the HG532d's wireless network is displayed as Connected. Step 7 Check that PPP dial-up software is installed and parameters are set correctly. Step 8 Check that you can use the PPP dial-up software to set up dial-up
21 connection. Step 9 Try to access more websites to check whether the HG532d can access these websites. If you still cannot access the websites, restore the HG532d to its default settings. If the problem persists, contact your network service provider. What can I do if sometimes the terminal cannot access the Internet over a wireless connection or if the wireless connection is unstable? Step 1 Check the positions of the HG532d and the computer. Ensure that they are located far from the electric appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Step 2 Place the HG532d in an open area. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, their transmission is affected if they pass through too many obstacles such as walls. Step 3 Move the computer closer to the HG532d. Step 4 Place the HG532d and the computer in another direction. Step 5 Try to avoid using wireless network connection during thunderstorms. What can I do if the wireless network is not encrypted but the computer cannot connect to the wireless network? Step 1 Delete wireless network configuration from the computer. The following example uses a computer running the Windows XP operating system: 1. Choose Start > Control Panel. Double-click Network Connections. 2. In the Network Connections window, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and choose Properties. 3. In the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box, click the Wireless Networks tab. 4. In the Preferred Networks area, select a wireless network, and click Remove.
22 5. Delete all the other wireless network connections from the Preferred Networks area. 6. Click OK. Step 2 Set up an unencrypted wireless network connection. Does the WPS function have any special requirements on the wireless encryption settings of the HG532d? The WPS function can be used only when the security mode of the wireless network is set to WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, and the SSID is set to SSID1. It is recommended that you set the security mode to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. What can I do if I cannot set up a wireless connection between the HG532d and the computer by pressing the WPS button? Step 1 Check that only one computer tries to connect to the HG532d using the WPS function at a time. Step 2 Check that the wires network function and the WPS function in PBC mode are enabled on the HG532d. Step 3 Check that the security mode of the wireless network is set to WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, and SSID is set to SSID1. Note that the WPS function is forcibly disabled if the wireless network uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. Step 4 Check the positions of the HG532d and the computer. Ensure that they are far from the electric appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Step 5 Place the HG532d in an open area. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, their transmission is affected if they pass through too many obstacles such as walls.
