	port. If the LED is flashing, that port is actively transmitting or receiving data.

	LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the wireless network.
DMZ	Green. The DMZ LED indicates when the DMZ function is being used. This LED will remain lit
	as long as DMZ is enabled.
