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 that:
a. The Power LED is still solid green. A red light indicates the unit has failed its power-on
self-test (POST).
b. The Ethernet LAN port LEDs are lit for any local ports that 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.
c. The DSL and Internet LEDs are lit.
