PIN CODE This is your device’s PIN code for Wi-Fi Protected Setup
5. I forgot my password.
a. Reset the router to its factory default settings and use the default username
admin and default password 1234. Default settings are displayed on the product
label on the back of the device, as shown above.
6. My BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3 has a weak wireless signal in
range extender mode.
a. Weak signals are usually caused by interference from other devices or obstacles
blocking the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3’s wireless signal:
b. Keep the device away from other radio devices such as microwaves or wireless
telephones.
c. Do not put the device in the corner of a room or under/nearby metal.
d. Ensure there are as few obstacles as possible between the BR-6428nS
V3/BR-6228nS V3 and your wireless network device.
In range extender mode, the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3’S weak wireless signal
may be in turn caused by a weak signal from your existing router. It’s important to
choose a good location for the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3 in relation to your
existing wireless router. The best location is roughly in the middle between your
existing wireless router and the area you would like to be covered by the
BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3. If you are too far away from your existing router,
then it is difficult for the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3 to receive a wireless signal.
7. Do the WAN and LAN ports work the same when the device is in
different modes?
No, the WAN and LAN ports have slightly different functions depending on the
operating mode of the device.
a. In Wi-Fi router mode, the WAN port is for a direct connection to your xDSL
modem. The LAN ports are for wired network clients.
b. In access point mode, the WAN port is not functional. Connect your existing
router to the device’s LAN port, and the other LAN ports can connect wired
network clients.
c. In range extender mode, the WAN port is not functional and the LAN ports are
for wired network clients. Do not connect your existing router to the device’s
WAN or LAN ports, as this can cause the device to malfunction.
