Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Compact Wireless-G
Broadband Router. The Compact Wireless-G Broadband
Router will allow you to network wirelessly better than
ever, sharing Internet access, files and fun, easily and
securely.

Front Panel

Ethernet 1-4 (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 connected
to a device through that port. A flashing LED
indicates network activity over that port.
Wireless (Green) The WIRELESS LED flashes
when there is a successful wireless connection.
Internet
(Green) The INTERNET LED lights up
when there is a connection through the Internet
port.
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.
