Troubleshooting with the LEDs
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED
is on.
2. After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:
• The Power LED is solid green.
• The Internet LED is on.
• A numbered Ethernet port LED is on for any local port that is connected to a
computer
. A lit Ethernet port LED indicates that a link has been established to the
connected device.
The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting.
Power LED Is Off or Blinking
Check the following:
• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power
adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet.
• Check that you are using the 5V DC, 1A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this
product.
If the Power/Test LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This
condition can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem
with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery
instructions or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at
www.netgear.com/support.
Internet or Ethernet Port LEDs Are Off
If either the Internet LED or the Ethernet port LEDs do not light when the Ethernet connection
is made, check the following:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the modem
or computer.
• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer
.
• Be sure that you are using the correct cable:
When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that
was supplied with the cable or DSL modem.
This cable could be a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.
