Power On Router 
To power on the Router: 
1.  Insert the AC Power Adapter 
cord into the power receptacle 
located on the rear panel of 
the Router and plug the 
adapter into a suitable nearby power source. See the back panel illustration above to view the power 
receptacle. 
 
 
CAUTION: The Router must be used with the 
power adapter included with the device. 
2.  The Power LED indicator will immediately light green and remain lit. The Status LED should light 
steady green initially and begin to blink after a few seconds. 
3.  If you have the Router connected to your network you can look at the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators 
to make sure they have valid connections. The Router will attempt to establish the WAN connection, if 
the WAN line is connected and the connection is properly configured this should light up after several 
seconds.
