Front Panel
The LEDs are on the front panel of the router.
POWER LED—Lights up green to indicate the router is powered on. The LED
flashes when the router is running a diagnostic test.
DIAG LED—If this light is off, the system is ready. The Diag LED blinks red during
firmware upgrades.
IPS LED—The IPS LED lights up when the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
function is enabled. If the LED is off, then IPS functions are disabled. The IPS LED
flashes green when an external attack is detected. It flashes red when an
internal attack is detected.
WIRELESS—The Wireless LED lights up green when the wireless module is
enabled. The LED is off when the wireless module is disabled. The LED flashes
green when the data is transmitting or receiving on the wireless module.
ETHERNET Port LEDs (1-4)—For each LAN port, there are three LEDs. If a port
LED is continuously lit green, the router is connected to a device at the speed
indicated through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4). The LED flashes green
when a router is actively sending or receiving data on that port.
INTERNET LED—The Internet LED lights up green to indicate the line speed of
the device attached to the Internet port. If the router is connected to a cable or
DSL modem, typically the 100 LED will be the only LED lit up, indicating
100 Mbps. Flashing indicates activity.
Back Panel
The Ethernet ports, Internet port, Reset button, and Power port are on the back
panel of the router.
RESET Button—The Reset button can be used in two ways:
• 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. This is similar to
pressing the reset button on your PC to reboot it.
• If you are experiencing extreme problems with the router and have tried all
other troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the Reset button for
10 seconds. This will restore the factory defaults and clear all of the router
settings, such as port forwarding or a new password.
INTERNET Port—Provides a WAN connection to a cable modem or DSL
modem.
ETHERNET Ports (1-4)—Provide a LAN connection to network devices, such
as PCs, print servers, or additional switches.
POWER Port—Connects the router to power via the supplied AC power
adapter.
