RangePlus Wireless Router

Chapter 1:

Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys RangePlus Wireless

Router. The Router lets you access the Internet via a

wireless connection or through one of its four switched

ports. You can also use the Router to share resources

such as computers, printers and files. A variety of security

features help to protect your data and your privacy while

online. Security features include WPA2 security, a Stateful

Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT technology.

Configuring the Router is easy using the provided browser-

based utility.

Front Panel

1, 2, 3, 4

(Blue) These numbered LEDs,

corresponding with the numbered ports on the

Router’s back panel, serve two purposes. If the

LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully

connected to a device through that port. A

flashing LED indicates network activity over

that port.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button

If you have

client devices, such as wireless adapters, that

support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, then you can

use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically

configure wireless security for your wireless

network(s).
To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup, run the Setup

Wizard, or refer to the “Wireless > Basic Wireless

Settings” section of “Chapter 3: Advanced

Configuration”.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup LED

(Blue/Amber) It

lights up blue when wireless security is

enabled. The LED flashes blue for two

minutes during Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

The LED lights up amber if there is an error

during the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process. Make

sure the client device supports Wi-Fi Protected

Setup. Wait until the LED is off, and then try again.

The LED flashes amber when a Wi-Fi Protected

Setup session is active, and a second session

begins. The Router supports one session at a

time. Wait until the LED is off before starting the

next Wi-Fi Protected Setup session.

Wireless

(Blue) The Wireless LED lights up

when the wireless feature is enabled. If the LED

is flashing, the Router is actively sending or

receiving data over the network.

Internet

(Blue) The Internet LED lights up

when there is a connection made through the

Internet port. A flashing LED indicates network

activity over the Internet port.

Power

(Blue) The Power LED lights up and will

stay on while the Router is powered on. When

the Router goes through its self-diagnostic

mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash.

When the diagnostic is complete, the LED will

be solidly lit.

Back Panel

Internet

The Internet port is where you will

connect your cable or DSL Internet connection.

1, 2, 3, 4

These Ethernet ports (1, 2, 3, 4) connect

the Router to PCs on your wired network and

other Ethernet network devices.

Reset

There are two ways to reset the Router’s

factory defaults. Either press and hold the Reset

Button for approximately five seconds, or restore

the defaults from Administration > Factory

Defaults in the Router’s web-based utility.

The Power port is where you will

connect the power adapter.

the Router on a level surface near an electrical outlet.
