6 FAQs  
How can I quickly enable or disable the wireless network function?  
Press and hold the WLAN button for over one second, and then release  
the button to enable or disable the wireless network function. The WLAN  
indicator shows whether the wireless network function is enabled.  
How can I quickly restore the default settings of the terminal?  
To restore the default settings, press and hold the Reset button on the  
rear panel for over six seconds after the HG533 is powered on, and then  
release the button.  
What can I do if I cannot access the Internet through the terminal?  
Step 1 Check whether the Power indicator on the terminal is solid on.  
If the Power indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:  
1. Ensure that the terminal is turned on.  
2. Ensure that electricity comes from the socket and that the  
power input from the socket meets the requirements described  
on the label of the terminal power adapter. If the voltage is  
unsteady, for example, if the voltage is too high or too low, do  
not use the terminal. Wait until the voltage restores to its normal  
level, and then use the terminal.  
3. Ensure that the terminal is properly connected to the socket  
through the power adapter.  
If the Power indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance  
center.  
Step 2 After powering on the terminal, wait for about three minutes.  
Then, check whether the ADSL indicator on the terminal is solid  
on.  
If the ADSL indicator blinks for a long time, perform further checks as  
follows:  
1. Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected. Pay  
special attention to the connections between the telephone  
lines and the splitter.  
2. Ensure that the terminal or telephone lines are far from the  
26  
 
 
electric appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric  
fields. Replace telephone lines when necessary.  
If the ADSL indicator still blinks and does not turn solid on, contact your  
network operator.  
Step 3 Check whether the LAN indicator of the terminal is on.  
If the LAN indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:  
1. Ensure that the network adapter of the computer is enabled.  
2. Ensure that the network cable between the terminal and the  
computer is properly connected. Remove and then insert the  
network cable or replace the network cable when necessary.  
If the LAN indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.  
Step 4 Check whether the driver for the network adapter is properly  
installed. Take a computer that runs Windows XP as an  
example. To check whether the driver for the network adapter is  
installed, do as follows:  
1. On the desktop, right-click My Computer, and then choose  
Manage.  
2. In the navigation tree of the Computer Management window,  
choose Device Manager.  
3. In the right pane of the Computer Management window, click  
Network adapters to view the information about the network  
adapter of the computer.  
If no network adapter is found or if a question mark (?) or an exclamation  
mark (!) is displayed next to the icon of the network adapter, you can infer  
that the driver for the network adapter is not properly installed. In this  
case, re-install the driver for the network adapter of the computer.  
Step 5 Ensure that you have entered the correct user name and user  
password that are required by the PPP dial-up software.  
The user name and the user password are provided by your  
network operator.  
Step 6 Check whether you can use the PPP dial-up software to dial  
successfully.  
If you cannot use the PPP dial-up software to dial successfully, perform  
27  
 
further checks as follows:  
1. Stop the PPP dial-up software and then power off the terminal.  
After five minutes, power on the terminal, and then use the PPP  
dial-up software to dial again.  
2. Restore the default settings of the terminal.  
If the problem persists, contact your network operator.  
Step 7 Check whether the proxy server of the Web browser is correctly  
configured. Take the Internet Explorer installed on a computer  
that runs Windows XP as an example. To check whether the  
proxy server of the Web browser is correctly configured, do as  
follows:  
1. Launch the Internet Explorer.  
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.  
3. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Connections tab.  
4. In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings group box, click  
LAN Settings.  
5. In the Proxy server group box of the Local Area Network  
(LAN) Settings dialog box, ensure that the Use a proxy  
server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to  
dial-up or VPN connections). Check box is cleared.  
Step 8 Try to access multiple Web sites to check whether the terminal  
can access these Web sites.  
If the terminal still cannot access Web sites, contact your network service  
provider.  
What can I do if Web pages often cannot be displayed during Web page  
browsing and can be displayed after the terminal is restarted?  
Step 1 Ensure that the terminal and other devices, such as telephones  
or fax machines, are connected to telephone lines through a  
splitter.  
For details about how to install a splitter, see the related description in  
the manual.  
Step 2 Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected.  
If the telephone lines are improperly connected, the stability of the  
network connection is affected.  
28  
 
Step 3 Check the positions of your terminal and your computer.  
Ensure that they are far from electric appliances, such as  
microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, that  
generate strong magnetic or electric fields.  
If the problem persists, contact your service provider.  
What can I do if sometimes the terminal cannot access the Internet  
through a WLAN connection or if the WLAN connection is unsteady?  
Step 1 Check the positions of your terminal and your computer.  
Ensure that they are far from the electric appliances, such as  
microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, that  
generate strong magnetic or electric fields.  
Step 2 Place your terminal in an open area.  
Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, the transmission  
effects of WLAN radio signals are affected if radio signals pass  
through too many obstacles, such as cement or wooden walls.  
Step 3 Place your computer close to your terminal.  
If your computer is far from your terminal, the effects of the WLAN  
are affected.  
Step 4 Place your terminal and computer in another direction.  
Step 5 Do not use your terminal to access the WLAN during  
thunderstorms.  
After a broadband terminal is installed, does Internet access degrade call  
quality or do telephone calls lower the Internet access rate?  
No. The terminal uses the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and  
splitter technologies to separate voice signals from data signals.  
Although the two types of signals are transmitted through one telephone  
line, they are carried by different frequency bands. Therefore, they do not  
interfere with each other. In this case, you can make a telephone call and  
access the Internet simultaneously, without degrading call quality or  
lowering the Internet access rate.
