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. When the Uplink port is in use, then

 

Port 3 will be lit.

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 running in Full Duplex mode. If the

 

LED is flickering, the connection is experiencing collisions.

 

Infrequent collisions are normal.

 

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

 

your connection. See “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” if you

 

have problems.

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

USB

The USB LED lights up when the USB port is successfully

 

connected to a USB-ready PC or USB hub.

EtherFast® Cable/DSL Routers

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 “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”
