Don't know if you have a manual for it or not, but their website is not
very easy to navigate or find things on. I am finding no downloads for
that model, but software upgrades and future WLAN features are mentioned
under "technical data". The short manual I did find says colored lights
indicate the status of each part of the router, and that the WLAN light
should be solid green when on and functioning, blinking green if
accessing it from a wireless device (traffic). Also, some devices do not
allow WLAN access until a "one time initial setup" has been completed.
Have you used the web browser interface to complete a router setup?
Obviously you have gotten far enough to change SSID and security
settings, so I'm not questioning that you have done everything right.
I'm leaning toward a firmware or hardware fault. Check the manual, but
on a wired connection you should be able to connect to it by typing
http://gigasetin a browser address bar. Since there is apparently no
firmware update on their support site, I would hope that somewhere on
the web interface there is an option to check for updates online. Hope
this helps. If nothing works, I'd find out from your ISP if it can be
exchanged or if they know of updates. If you set up with them recently
enough, they should cover replacement under a hardware warranty. If it
cannot be resolved and cannot be replaced, a similar looking model from
Zoom Telephonics is the X6, or 5590. Otherwise, since the LAN interface
appears to be fine, you could spring for a good linksys access point. I
do understand though, if you're looking for the solution that costs
least. Hopefully some of this helps.

When you go to the Network and Sharing Center, is everything turned
on? Click on MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS, and disable the wired
connection.

Right-click the wireless connection, and select STATUS and check the
settings, then click the details button and Wireless Properties button
to see if the settings make sense in there.

Try this:

1. From a command prompt (start/run/cmd), type in IPCONFIG /ALL. All
this does is display settings. Look near the top of the list and see
if DHCP is ENABLED (the details butto above will also show the status
of DHCP), and whether automatic configuration is ENABLED. If they both
say YES, then look at the default gateway and DHCP address. They both
should say the same thing, (Default is usually 192.168.1.1, unless you
changed during set it up).

2. Then,

c:\>PING 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the default gateway is)

This is usually the default IP address of a wireless router. Check
your documentation to see if it is anything different.

If you get any results, then you can connect to the router. If the
connect times out, then no connection. The steps above will tell you
if there is a wireless signal and other pertinent information.

If ping works, and DHCP is enabled, go back to the command prompt and
type in IPCONFIG /RELEASE, THEN IPCONFIG /RENEW

Go into your Device Manager, click on Network Adapters, then the
wireless one. The last tab is the POWER MANAGEMENT. Make sure the
check box is cleared for that allows the computer to shut down the
your wireless to save power.

If no luck at this point, have you tried to use the DIAGNOSE button
(if the router is not working)?

Good luck,

Jim
