The Router's LEDs

The Router's LEDs, which displays information about network activity, are located on another side panel.
POWER Green. The POWER LED lights up and will stay on while the Router is powered on. When the
Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When
the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.
ETHERNET
1, 2, 3, 4 Green. These numbered LEDs, corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router's back
panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected
to a device through that port. If the LED is flashing, that port is actively transmitting or
receiving data.
WIRELESS Green. The WIRELESS LED lights up whenever there is a successful wireless connection. If the
LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the wireless network.
DMZ Green. The DMZ LED indicates when the DMZ function is being used. This LED will remain lit
as long as DMZ is enabled.
INTERNET Green. The INTERNET LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet
port. If the LED is flashing, that port is actively transmitting or receiving data.
