The Power light stays amber.
When the router is turned on, the Power light turns amber for about 20 seconds and then turns
green. If the light does not turn green, the router has a problem.
If the Power light is still amber 1 minute after turning on power to the router:
1. Turn the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
2. Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page 7-12 .
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact Technical Support.
The Internet light stays amber.
When the router is turned on, the Internet light turns amber for about 20 seconds and then turns
green. If the light does not turn green, the router has a problem.
If the Internet light is still amber 1 minute after turning on power to the router:
1. The Internet is not accessible. Confirm that you have the correct internet setting.
2. Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page 7-12 .
3. Turn the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
The Internet or LAN port lights are not on.

following:

2. Make sure that power is turned on to the connected computer.
3. Be sure you are using Ethernet cables like the cable that was supplied with the wireless router.
