Broadband Link Area of the Network at a Glance Panel
The Broadband Link area of the Network at a Glance panel displays the overall status of your gateway’s
physical connectivity.
The diamond symbol in this area indicates the overall status of the broadband link and corresponds to the
Internet light on the front of your gateway.
The following table shows a list of possible BROADBAND LINK light states and their associated meanings:
Connection Speed displays the broadband speed for which DSL is configured by your ISP. Both the Incoming
(or Downstream — from your service provider to your system) and Outgoing (or Upstream — from your
system to your service provider) connection rates are shown. The actual throughput of your Internet
connection rate (such as downloading a file from a Web site) will be somewhat less, because of the
overhead required to send information over the Internet.
Accessing the Broadband Link Summary Page
The Broadband Link Summary page provides general information about the current status of your
broadband link connection and your system configuration. To access the Broadband Link Summary page,
click the
Broadband Link icon or the View summary link.
Launching the 2Wire Bandwidth Meter
The Bandwidth Meter measures the maximum data throughput obtained from 2Wire’s Web site to your
system. Because it tests the speed over the Internet, your results may vary, depending on Internet
conditions.
To launch the 2Wire Bandwidth Meter, click the Test connection speed link.
Home Network Area of the Network at a Glance Panel
The Home Network area of the Network at a Glance panel displays your system’s LOCAL NETWORK light
status and a list of the devices currently connected to your local network.
The diamond symbol in this area indicates the overall status of the network and corresponds to the
Ethernet , USB , or Wireless light on the front of your gateway.
