POST Failure (red pwr LED)
POST is the router’s “power-on self-test.” When you power on or reboot the router, the pwr LED goes to 
a solid red until one of two things occurs: it either fails its initial POST tests, or it comes fully up and is 
ready to run. 
• If POST passes, the router continues through the rest of its initialization, and the pwr LED changes to 
solid green. 
• If the initial POST diagnostic tests fail, the pwr LED will remain red, indicating a POST failure, and 
will lock the router. You will need to contact Efficient Networks Technical Support to resolve this 
issue.
