default, WiFi is on. The WiFi LED has the following behavior:
• Solid green. There
is WiFi
connectivity.
• Blinking green. Data is being transmitted or received over the WiFi link.

There is no WiFi connectivity. You can still plug an Ethernet cable into one of
the LAN ports to get wired connectivity. For more information about the use of this
button, see Advanced W
ireless Settings on page 97.

on the setting you entered on the Internet Setup screen, but the DSL connection
is still present, the LED stays green. If the Internet connection is dropped for any
other reason, the LED turns off.
• Solid red. The Internet (IP)
connection failed. For troubleshooting information,
see Troubleshoot the Internet Connection on page 142.
• Blinking green. Data is being transmitted over the DSL port.
• Off. No Internet connection is detected or the device is in bridge mode (an
external device handles the ISP connection).

starts. After about one minute, the Power LED turns solid green. If the Power LED
remains red or lights red at any other time, a device malfunction has occurred.

• Blinking red. If you press the Restore Factory Settings button for seven seconds
(pressing it briefly only resets the unit), the Power LED blinks red three times and
then turns green as the modem router resets to the factory defaults.
