Mn500

Setting up an MN500 base unit to run Mn520 on laptop.
Cannot get past the problem of configuring the base.
saying that there is a software firewall or other internet
security software or to reboot the base. I have done both
shut off all applications and rebooting the base.

It is really frustrating...Any help before I take this
back.

Thanks

I had the same problem, but was able to set it up
manually. If you go to your webbrowser and type in
192.168.2.1 , if the router has not been setup yet the
password is admin. You can go through all the settings
and input them there.

I too had the same problem. I used the manual set up and
it still did not work. Last night tech support had me
trying all kinds of power cycling routines. Finally,
today I set everything again, and it still did not work.
Walked away to eat, came back and it was working ?!?!?!?
Very frustrating. However, at least I know my set up is
capable of working.

Here is the only help I can provide based on my
experience:

Reset the base station.
Manually set up and configure.
Once you know that all the settings are correct start
cycling the power between your base station, modem and
computer. If you get the cycle just right and the planets
are in the correct alignment (plus you must walk away so
that the router doesn't know your watching) you will get
your base station to work.

Sorry to joke, but it is funny to me that it just started
working on its own.
