KNOWING YOUR ROUTER

The Router has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the rear of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily visible on the front of the Router to provide you with information about network activity and status.

1. Power/Ready LED

When you apply power to the Router or restart it, a short period of time elapses while the Router boots up. During this time, the “Power/Ready” LED blinks. When the Router has completely booted up, the Power/Ready LED becomes a SOLID light, indicating the Router is ready for use.
