Troubleshooting Tips  

PROBLEM:  

I entered setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open the Web Menu.  

SOLUTIONS: a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Router using the included Ethernet cable.  

Ensure that the power on the Router is on.  

b. Check that your computer IS NOT connected to any wireless networks. If it is, disable your Wi-Fi connection  

and disconnect from all wireless networks. Reboot the Router and try again.  

c. Close your current web browser and reopen it. Use Google Chrome, Internet Explorer (8.0 and up), or Safari.  

d. Open your web browser and enter 192.168.3.1 into the web address bar.  

e. Reset the Router to default settings by holding the Reset Button (located on the back panel) for ten (10) seconds  

and try again. The Setup Wizard should appear. To access the Dashboard, complete or skip the Setup Wizard.  

The Setup Wizard appears only when the Router has not yet been configured.  

f. If you still cannot access the menu, disconnect the Ethernet cable and connect wirelessly to the Router. Open  

your web browser to setup.ampedwireless.com.  

g. If the Setup Wizard appears instead of the Dashboard, the Router has not yet been configured. Complete the  

Setup Wizard or skip the Setup Wizard to access the Dashboard.  

PROBLEM:  

SOLUTION:  

The Setup Wizard could not automatically configure my Internet connection.  

a. Reset your modem by holding down the Reset button located on the back of the modem for approximately  

ten (10) seconds. Try again.  

b. Reboot the Router by unplugging the power adapter and plugging it back in.  

c. Static IP: Your Internet connection may require a static IP setting. Check with your ISP to obtain the IP settings.  

d. DSL Connection: Your Internet connection may require login information. If you are using PPPoE mode,  

you will need to manually configure your Internet connection settings and obtain your username and password.  

e. Cable Modem: Your Internet connection may require you to clone your MAC address. Go to More Settings >  

IP Settings > Internet Network (WAN) and select Automatic/Dynamic (DHCP) from the dropdown menu.  

Clone your PC’s MAC address under the DNS settings.
