Troubleshoot with the LEDs

By default, the router is set with standard LED settings. If you disabled blinking for the LEDs
or turned off all LEDs except the Power LED, you must return the LEDs to their standard
settings for troubleshooting. For information about controlling the LED settings, see
LED Blinking or Turn Off LEDs

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
2. After approximately 2 minutes, verify the following:
• The Power LED is solid white.
• The Internet LED is lit.
• The WiFi LED is lit unless you turned off the wireless radio.
You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.

Power LED Is Off or Blinking

Do the following:
• Make sure that the power adapter is securely connected to your router and securely
connected to a working power outlet.
• Check that you are using the power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product.
• If the Power LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This
can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem with the
firmware. If the error persists, this indicates a hardware problem. For recovery
instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at

Power LED Stays Amber

When the router is turned on, the Power LED lights amber for about 2 minutes and then turns
white. If the LED does not turn white, a problem occurred in the router.
If the Power LED is still amber one minute after you turn on power to the router, do the
following:
1. Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers.
2. Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings.
