The back panel includes the following components, viewed from left to right:
• USB port. One USB 2.0 port lets you connect a USB hard drive, flash drive, or printer to
the modem router.

Ethernet LAN of the modem router.

Description
By default, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi radios are enabled. Pressing this button for three
seconds turns off both radios. Pressing the button again for three seconds turns on both
radios.
If you turn off the radios, both WiFi LEDs on the front panel turn off too. If you turn on the
radios, both WiFi LEDs on the front panel light solid green.
Pressing this button for three seconds activates WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for two
minutes to let you add a WiFi device to the WiFi network without typing the WiFi
password.
While WPS is active, both WiFi LEDs on the front panel blink amber.
For more information about using WPS, see the following sections:
• Join the WiFi Network of the Modem Router
