Installing Your Wireless Router Manually (Advanced and Linux Users) 14
1. First, plug in and turn on the cable or DSL modem (if your modem has a backup battery, plug
it back in). Wait 2 minutes.
2. Now, plug the power cord into your N600 wireless gigabit router and into a power outlet. Wait
1 minute.
3. Last, turn on your computer. It might take several minutes for your router to establish a
connection with your computer and your Internet provider.
Verifying Your Connection
Verify that your router is connected correctly by checking the wireless router status lights (as
illustrated in Figure 8.
Check the N600 wireless gigabit router status lights to verify the following:
• Power. The Power light (1) should turn solid green. If it does not, see “Checking Basic Router
Functions” on page 27.
• Operating Mode. The 2.4 GHz N/G-Band light (2) should be on; the 5.0 GHz N-Band light
(3) should be on.
• USB. The USB light (4) should be lit if a USB device is connected and ready to be used. The
light will be fast blinking green when the USB device is in use.
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.
