Getting to know the Router

A

The Back Panel

The Router's ports and the Reset
button are located on the back
panel of the Router.
Internet This port connects to your cable or DSL
modem.
1-4 These four ports connect to network
devices, such as PCs, print servers, or
additional switches.
Reset If the Router is having problems connecting
to the Internet, press the Reset button for
just a second with a paper clip or a pencil
tip, which is similar to rebooting your PC.
If you are experiencing extreme problems
with the Router and have tried all other
troubleshooting measures, press and hold
in the Reset button for 30 seconds. This
will restore the factory defaults and clear
all of the Router's settings, such as port
forwarding or a new password.
Power This port is where you will connect the
power adapter.
B

The Front Panel

The Router's LEDs, which inform you
about network activities, are
located on the front panel.

is powered on and flashes when the Router
is running a diagnostic test.
EthernetGreen. This LED shows when the Router is
connected to a device through the
corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4) and
flashes when the Router is sending or
receiving data over that port.
Internet Green. This LED lights up when the Router
is connected to your cable or DSL modem.
