Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

The Front Panel

The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.

	Figure 3-2: Front Panel
Power	Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
	Router is booting up, running a system self-test, or upgrading its firmware.
WLAN	Green. The WLAN LED lights up when there is an active wireless connection. If the LED is
	flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the wireless network.
Ethernet 1-3	Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is solidly lit, the Router is
	connected to a device through the corresponding port (Ethernet 1, 2, or 3). If the LED is
	flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over that port.
Phone 1-2	Green. The Phone LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has a registered
	connection to Vonage through the corresponding port (Phone 1 or 2). (The connection is
	registered if your Vonage service account is active.) Otherwise, the LED does not light up. It
	flashes when the phone is being used or an incoming call has been detected.
Internet	Green. The Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL
	modem. If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.
