To Verify Basic Functioning

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 light is on (see The Front of the Wireless Router for an illustration).
  2. Verify that the power light turns amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test procedure is running.
  3. After approximately 30 seconds, verify that:
    1. The color of the power light changes to green.
    2. The LAN port lights are lit for any local ports that are connected.
    3. The Internet port is connected and its light is lit.
    4. If a port's light is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN port is connected to a 1000 Mbps device, verify that the port's light is green. If the port is 10/100 Mbps, the light will be amber.
