Troubleshoot with the LEDs
By default, the router uses standard LED settings.
Standard LED behavior when the router is powered on
After you turn on power to the router, verify that the following sequence of events occurs:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is lit.
2. After about two minutes, verify the following:
• The Internet LED is lit.
• The WiFi LED is lit (unless you turned off WiFi broadcast).
You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.
Power LED is off
This could occur for a number of reasons. Check the following:
• Make sure that the power adapter is securely connected to your router and securely
connected to a working power outlet.
• Make sure that you are using the power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this
product.
Power LED stays solid amber or blinking amber
When the router is turned on, the Power LED lights solid amber during the boot up,
and then turns solid green when the startup is done. If the Power LED stays solid amber
or blinking amber, or no other LEDs are lit, this indicates a fault within the router.
Note: The Power LED is blinking amber temporarily when the firmware is upgrading,
or the Reset button was pressed. This is expected behavior.
If the Power LED stays solid amber or blinking amber for more than three minutes after
powering up, try the following:
• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
• Turn off the router, press and hold the Reset button, power on the router, and then
release the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings.
