Troubleshooting with the LEDs
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1.
When power is first applied, verify that the Power/Test LED is on.
2.
Verify that the Power/Test LED starts blinkiing green, indicating that the self-test is running.
3.
After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:
•
The Power/Test LED is solid green.
•
The Internet LED is on.
•
A numbered Ethernet port LED is on for any local port that is connected to a
computer. This indicates that a link has been established to the connected device.
The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting.
Power/Test LED Is Off
•
Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power
adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet.
•
Check that you are using the power adapter that came in the package for this product.
•
If the Power/Test LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted.
This can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem
with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery
instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at
.
Internet or Ethernet Port LEDs Are Off
If either the Ethernet port LEDs or the Internet LED does not light when the Ethernet
connection is made, check the following:
•
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the
modem or computer.
•
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer.
•
Be sure that you are using the correct cable:
When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that
was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.
