EtherFast Cable/DSL Routers
The WAN Indicators
Link Green. The Link LED illuminates when a successful con-
nection is made between the Router and your Broadband
device or network.
Act Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or
receiving data over the broadband port.
Diag Red. The Diag LED illuminates when the Router goes
through its self-diagnosis mode during boot-up. It will turn
off upon successful completion of the diagnosis. If this
LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time, refer
to Troubleshooting on page 30.
The Reset Button
*
Briefly pressing the Reset Button will refresh the Router’s con-
nections, potentially clearing any jammed links.
Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will
clear all of the Router’s data. This should be done only if you are experienc-
ing heavy routing problems, and only after you have exhausted all of the
other troubleshooting options. By resetting the Router, you run the risk of
creating conflicts between your PCs’ actual IP Addresses and what the Router
thinks their IP Addresses should be. You may be forced to reboot the entire
system(s).
If your router locks up, simply power it down for 3 to 5 seconds by removing
the power cable from the Router’s Power Port. Leaving the power off for too
long could result in the loss of network connections.
* The Reset Button is located on the front of the 4-Port Router and on the rear of the One-Port
Router.
