Power Light

The Power light displays the Router’s current status. If the Power light glows steadily green, the Router is receiving power and fully operational. When the Power light flashes rapidly, the Router is initializing. If the Power light is not illuminated when the power cord is plugged in, the Router has suffered a critical error and technical support should be contacted.
