• Some cable modem services require you to use the MAC address of the computer registered
on the account. If so, in the Router MAC Address section of the Basic Settings menu, select,

in the correct sequence.

Check the router status lights to verify correct router operation.

If the Power light does not turn solid green within 2 minutes after turning the router on, reset the
router according to the instructions in
page 2-6.

To Verify 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 (see
Router" on page 1-2
2. Verify that the power light turns amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test
procedure is running.
3. After approximately 20 seconds, verify that:
a. The color of the power light changes to green.
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 will be amber.

Power Light Not On

If the Power and other lights are off, check the following:
• 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 power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
