LEDs Never Turn Off
When the router is turned on, the LEDs light for about 10 seconds and then turn off. If all the
LEDs stay on, this indicates a fault within the router.
If all LEDs are still lit one minute after power-up, do the following:
• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
• Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings. For more
information, see Factory Settings on page 152.
If the error persists, a hardware problem might be the cause. Contact technical support at

When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that

This cable can be a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.

you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer

range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
• If your computer
’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, it is because recent versions of
