(Cisco logo)

Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay

 

orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using

 

the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the

 

SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will

 

turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also

 

called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

 

To clear the SSID and WPA-PSK key, press and hold down the Cisco logo for five seconds. The

 

Cisco logo will flash slowly as the Router resets itself. The Cisco logo will turn orange to

 

indicate a successful reset.

Power

Green. The Power LED lights up and will stay on while the Router is powered on. When the

 

Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When

 

the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.

DMZ

Green. The DMZ LED indicates when the DMZ function is being used. This LED will remain lit

 

as long as DMZ is enabled.

WLAN

Green. The WLAN LED lights up whenever there is a successful wireless connection. If the LED

 

is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the network.

1, 2, 3, 4

Green. These numbered LEDs, corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router’s back

 

panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected

 

to a device through that port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.

Internet

Green. The Internet LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet port.
