Before you install and connect your router, take a moment to become familiar with the front and
back panels of the router—especially the status lights on the front panel.
Front Panel
The router front panel, shown in Figure 3, contains status lights. (For more information on
interpreting the status lights, see “Verifying Your Connection” on page 16 and “Checking Basic
