ADSL Link LED is off.

• Disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem,

 

reconnect the telephones one at a time, being careful to use a

 

microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected

 

correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones.

 

• Check that the telephone company has made the connection to your

 

line and tested it.

 

• Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If you

 

have more than one phone line, be sure that you are connected to the

 

line with the ADSL service. It may be necessary to use a swapper if

 

your ADSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 of the RJ-11 jack. The Dual Band

 

Wireless-N Modem Router uses pins 2 and 3.

 

 

Internet LED is red.

The modem router cannot access the Internet. See “Cannot Access the

 

Internet” on page 7-5.
