The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
Router is booting up, running a system self-test, or upgrading its firmware.
Ethernet 1-4 Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is solidly lit, the Router is connected
to a device through the corresponding port (Ethernet 1, 2, 3, or 4). If the LED is flashing, the
Router is sending or receiving data over that port.
Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL modem.
If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.
