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 (to the
	Internet).
Diag	Orange. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes
	through its self-diagnosis mode during every boot-up, and
	also when you click Apply to update any changes made in
	the Router’s Utility. It will turn off upon successful comple-
	tion of the diagnosis.

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

The Reset Button* The Reset button can be used in one of two ways.

1.If your Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button in for just a moment with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This clears up any jammed connections, and is similar to pressing the Reset but- ton on your PC to reboot it.

2.If you are experiencing extreme problems with your Router and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, press the Reset Button in and hold it down until the orange Diag LED on the front panel turns on and off completely.

This will restore factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, including the IP addresses you entered.

Leaving the power off for too long could result in the loss of network con- nections.

See also restoring factory defaults through the Web-based Utility in the Cable/DSL Router’s Web-based Utility section.

*The Reset Button is located on the front panel of the 4-Port Router, and the rear panel of the 3-Port Router and the 1-Port Router.
