The 3-Port Router’s Front Panel LEDs

The LAN Indicators

Power

Green. The Power LED lights up green when the Router is

 

powered on.

Link/Act

Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

 

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to

 

a device through the corresponding RJ-45 port (1, 2, or 3). If

 

the LED flickers, then that port is sending or receiving data

 

to and from the network.

Full/Col

Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this

 

LED is continuously lit, the connection made through the

 

corresponding port is successfully running in Full Duplex

 

mode. If the LED is flickering, the connection is experien-

 

cing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal.

 

If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with

 

your connection. See the Troubleshooting section if you

 

have problems.

100Orange. The 100 LED lights up when a successful 100Mbps connection is made through the corresponding port. If this LED does not light up, then your connection speed is 10 Mbps.

The WAN Indicators

Link

Green. The Link LED lights up when a successful connec-

 

tion is made between the Router and your broadband device

 

or network.

Act

Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or

 

receiving data over the broadband WAN port.

Diag

Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through

 

its self-diagnostic mode. It will turn off upon successful

 

completion of the diagnosis.

If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time, see the Troubleshooting section.
