a. The Test light turned off.
b. The LAN port lights are lit for any local ports that are connected.
c. The Internet port is connected and its light is lit.
If a port’s light is lit, 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 10 Mbps, the
light is amber.
Verify whether the Test light never turns on or stays on:
1. Verify that when the router is turned on, the Test light turns on for about 20 seconds and then
turns off. If the Test light does not turn on or stays on, the router has a problem.
2. Turn the power off and then on to see if the router recovers. If all lights including the Test light
are still on one minute after powering up:
a. Turn the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
b. Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s IP address to
192.168.1.1. This procedure is explained in “How Do I Restore the Default Password and
Configuration Settings?” on page 24 .
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
Verify if the LAN or Internet port lights are not on when the Ethernet connection is made:
1. Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the computer.
2. Make sure that power is turned on to the connected computer.
3. Make sure that you are using Ethernet cables like the cable that was supplied with the wireless
router.

computer and the router as described in the previous section.
