Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router. The Router lets you access the Internet via a wireless connection or through one of its four switched ports. You can also use the Router to share resources such as computers, printers and files. A variety of security features help to protect your data and your privacy while online. Security features include WPA2 security, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT technology. Configuring the Router is easy using the provided browser- based utility.

Front Panel

1, 2, 3, 4  (Blue)  These numbered LEDs, corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router’s back panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a device through that port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button  If you have client devices, such as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically configure wireless security for your wireless network(s).

To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup, run the Setup Wizard, or refer to the “Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings” section of “Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration”.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup LED  (Blue/Amber)  It lights up blue when wireless security is enabled. The LED flashes blue for two minutes during Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

The LED lights up amber if there is an error during the WiFi Protected Setup process. Make sure the client device supports WiFi Protected Setup.Wait until the LED is off, and then try again.

The LED flashes amber when a WiFi Protected Setup session is active, and a second session begins. The Router supports one session at a time. Wait until the LED is off before starting the next Wi-Fi Protected Setup session.

Wireless  (Blue)  The Wireless LED lights up when the wireless feature is enabled. If the LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the network.

Internet  (Blue)  The Internet LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over the Internet port.

Power  (Blue)  The Power LED lights up and will stay on while the Router is powered on. When the Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.

Back Panel

Internet  The Internet port is where you will connect your cable or DSL Internet connection.

1, 2, 3, 4  These Ethernet ports (1, 2, 3, 4) connect the Router to PCs on your wired network and other Ethernet network devices.

Reset  There are two ways to reset the Router’s factory defaults. Either press and hold the Reset Button for approximately five seconds, or restore the defaults from Administration > Factory Defaults in the Router’s web-based utility.
