ABOUT YOUR ROUTER
The front panel of the router contains a series of indicator lights (LEDs) that help describe the state of
various networking and connection operations.

Indicates that the Router is powered on. If this LED is off, the power adapter or the connections to the
power adapter may be faulty. Refer to the Problem Solving section.
