An Ethernet WAN Link is established. An Ethernet WAN Link is not GREEN established. Data transmitting or receiving over Ethernet WAN. IP connected and no traffic detected. If an IP or PPPoE session is dropped due to an idle timeout, the light will remain green if an ADSL connection is still present.
3.2 IP Configuration DHCP MODE When the WR-6891u powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically, the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC. To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.
Page 14
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings. If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead. STATIC IP MODE In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually. Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.
