d.Check the router status lights to verify the following:
•Power: The power light should turn solid green. If it does not, see “Troubleshooting Tips” on page
•Test: The test light should be off. The test light blinks when the router is first turned on then goes off. If after 2 minutes it is still on, see the Troubleshooting Tips below.
•Internet: The Internet port light should be lit. If not, make sure the Ethernet cable is securely attached to the router Internet port and the modem, and the modem is powered on.
•LAN: A LAN light should be lit. Green indicates your computer is communicating at 100 Mbps; yellow indicates 10 Mbps. If a LAN light is not lit, check that the Ethernet cable from the computer to the router is securely attached at both ends, and that the computer is turned on.
