Troubleshooting
This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your RangeMax 240 Wireless Router
WPNT834. After each problem description, instructions are provided to help you diagnose and
solve the problem.
Basic Functioning
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 light is on.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:
a. The power light is solid green.
b. The LAN port lights are lit for any local ports that are connected.
c. The Internet port light is lit.
d. A port light is lit, to indicate a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN
port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s light is green. If the port is
connected to a 10 Mbps device, the light is amber.
If any of the above conditions does not occur, see the appropriate following section.
Power Light Not On
If the Power and other lights are off when your router is turned on:
• Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply
adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet.
• Check that you are using the 12V DC 1A power adapter that NETGEAR supplies for this
product.
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
