(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.
