Frequently Asked Questions - Teledat Router 400 T-Mobile

How do I reset the T-Mobile Teledat Router 400 to factory defaults?

Press and hold the reset button on the back of the router for about 10 seconds until the lights flash. This restores default settings.

What is the default IP address and login for the Teledat Router 400?

The default IP is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Default username and password are often 'admin'/'admin' or 'admin'/'password'.

How can I change the Wi-Fi password on my Teledat Router 400?

Log into the web interface, go to Wireless Settings, and change the pre-shared key. Save settings to apply.

My Teledat Router 400 is not connecting to the internet. What should I do?

Check DSL/cable connection, power cycle the router, and verify PPPoE/other settings in the WAN configuration. Also check if the ISP is up.

Can I use the Teledat Router 400 as a switch or access point?

Yes, you can disable DHCP and connect via LAN to another router, but the device is primarily designed as a modem/router. Not recommended for advanced setups.

What type of DSL connection does the Teledat Router 400 support?

It supports ADSL (Annex A/B) up to 24 Mbps downstream. Check compatibility with your ISP.

How do I update the firmware on my Teledat Router 400?

The Wi-Fi signal is weak. What can I do?

Place the router centrally, away from interference. Consider changing the wireless channel in settings. The antenna is internal, so positioning is key.

It likely does not support IPv6 natively, as it is an older model. Check firmware settings; if not available, use IPv4.

How to configure port forwarding on the Teledat Router 400?

Preparing Your Network

All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.

Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to install and use TCP/IP on your computer. Windows 3.1 requires the purchase of a third-party TCP/IP application package.

After the appropriate TCP/IP components are installed, configure the TCP/IP settings in order to "communicate" with your network.

The Teledat Router 400 assigns these factory default values if you configure TCP/IP using DHCP:

IP address: between 192.168.1.33 and 192.168.1.64
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (the Teledat Router 400)

These procedures are for dynamic IP addresses. Do not assign an arbitrary IP address or subnet mask to your computer. If you do, you will not be able to access the Internet.
