The WAN Indicators

	Instant Broadband™ Series
The WAN Indicators
Link	Green. The Link LED lights up when a successful connec-
	tion is made between the Router and your broadband device
	or network.
Act	Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or
	receiving data over the broadband WAN port (to the
	Internet).
Diag	Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through
	its self-diagnosis mode during every boot-up. It will turn off
	upon successful completion of the diagnosis.

If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time, see the Troubleshooting section.

The Reset Button* The Reset button can be used in one of two ways.

1.If your Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button for just a moment with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This clears up any jammed connections, and is similar to pressing the Reset button on your PC to reboot it.

2.If you are experiencing extreme problems with your Router and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, press the Reset Button and hold it down until the red Diag LED on the front panel turns on and off completely.

This will restore factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, includ- ing the IP addresses you entered.

*The Reset Button is located on the front panel of the 4-Port Router, and the rear panels of the 3- Port Router and the 1-Port Router.
