Power LED Is Off
If the Power LED and other LEDs are off when your modem router is turned on, do the
following:
• Check that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and that the
power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.
• Check that you are using the 12 VDC 1.2A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for
this product.
If the error persists, a hardware problem might exist. For recovery instructions or help with a
hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.
WiFi LED Is Off
If the WiFi LED remains off, check to see if the radios on the modem router are turned off
(see Control the WiFi Radios on page 73). By default, the radios are turned on and the WiFi
LED lights solid green.
