The LAN Indicators

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 port. If the LED is flicker- ing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this LED is lit up solidly, the connection made through the corre- sponding port is running in Full Duplex mode. If the LED flickers, the connection is experiencing collisions (when two PCs send data at the same time). Infrequent collisions are normal.

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 10Mbps.
