Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys by Cisco Wireless-G Home Router with SpeedBurst. 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 you are 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  (Green)  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.

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

Internet  (Green)  The Internet LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet port. It flashes to indicate network activity over the Internet port.

Power  (Green)  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.

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