Start your network in the correct sequence.
a. First, plug in and turn on the cable or DSL modem. Wait 2 minutes.
b. Now, plug the power adapter into your router and into a power outlet. Wait 1 minute.
c. Last, turn on your computer.
d. Check the router status lights to verify the following:
• Power. The power light (1) should turn solid green.
• Test. The test light (2) should turn solid amber when the router is first turned on, then
go off after 2 minutes.
• Wireless. The Wireless light (3) should be on.
• Internet. The Internet port light (4) should be lit. If not, make sure the Ethernet cable
is securely attached to the router Internet port, and the modem is powered on.
Failure to start or restart your network in the correct sequence could prevent you
from accessing the Internet.
For DSL customers, if software logs you in to the Internet, do not run that
software. You might need to go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu, select
Internet Options, and then click the Connections tab, where you can select
Never dial a connection.
