Power LED Is Off

If the Power and other LEDs are off when your modem router is turned on:

•Check that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.

•Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.

If the error persists, you could have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR Technical Support.

Power LED Is Red

When the modem router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test during which time the Power LED turns red. If the Power LED does not turn green within a minute or so or if it turns red at any other time during normal operation there is a fault within the modem router.
