- Connect to WAN port and ping WAN IP. If ping replies, access 
the GUI using the WAN IP using the https protocol. If LAN and 
WAN configurations are set to the same subnet, change to 
differing subnets.

tool 
- If applicable, ping gateway IP using MS Command Prompt 
- Verify Firewall settings. If firewall enabled, verify ICMP port has 
been allowed. Disable firewall to check if connection can be 
established. If the MS firewall is disabled, verify no other firewall 
software is enabled.
