The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which indicate the status of the Router and network activities, are located on the front 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.
DMZ Green. The DMZ LED indicates when the DMZ function is being used. This LED will remain lit
as long as DMZ is enabled.
Wireless-A
WLAN Green. The WLAN LED flashes when there is a successful Wireless-A connection.
Wireless-G
WLAN Green. The WLAN LED flashes when there is a successful Wireless-G connection.
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. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.
Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet port.
