Basic Functioning

After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify the following:
a. The Power LED is still solid green. An amber light indicates that the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b. The Internet LED is lit.
c. The WiFi LED is lit. The WiFi radio is on by default.
d. The Ethernet LAN port LED is lit when any local ports are connected.
If a LAN port's LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a
LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port's LED is green. If the
port is 10 Mbps, the LED is amber.
e. The Ethernet WAN port LED is lit when the router is connected to a wired modem.
f. The Signal Quality LED is lit when the router has detected a mobile broadband
signal.
• A blue LED indicates excellent coverage.
• A green LED indicates good coverage.
• An amber LED indicates marginal coverage.
If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the following table.

There is a fault within the router. Try to clear the fault as follows:
• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
• Clear the router's configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router's
