KNOWING YOUR BELKIN ROUTER

The Router has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or
horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the
desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the rear
of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily
visible on the front of the Router to provide you with information about network
activity and status.
1. Power/Ready LED
When you apply power to the Router or restart it, a short period of time elapses
while the Router boots up. During this time, the "Power/Ready" LED blinks.
When the Router has completely booted up, the Power/Ready LED becomes a
SOLID light, indicating the Router is ready for use.

Blinking Green Router is Booting Up

2. Wireless Network LED

3. LAN Port-Status LEDs
These LEDs are labeled 1–4 and correspond to the numbered ports on the rear of
the Router. When a computer is properly connected to one of the LAN ports on
the rear of the Router, the LED will light. GREEN means a 10Base-T device is
connected, AMBER means a 100Base-Tx device is connected. When information is
being sent over the port, the LED blinks rapidly.
