Q1: I typed http://SCXXXXXX in my Internet Browser's Address Bar, but an error message says "The page cannot be displayed." How can I get into the TEW-636APB's web configuration page?

A1: First, check your hardware settings again by following the instructions in section 2. Second, make sure the LAN and WLAN lights are lit. Third, verify the Mac Address of the access point. Look at the bottom of the access point. Copy the last six digits of the Mac Address.

Take a pin or paperclip, press on the reset button for 15 seconds, and then let go.

Q2: All the settings are correct, but I can not make a wireless connection to the Access Point.
