A: If your connection to the Internet stops working, check to make sure that all of the cables are plugged in correctly (refer to “Connecting the
Gateway” on page 5 if needed). If this does not fix the problem, shut down your computer and turn off the 2247-N8. Wait about 30 seconds and
then turn on the 2247-N8. Wait for the Internet light on the 2247-N8 to become solid green and then turn on your computer and launch a Web

A: A flashing green light indicates that no cable is attached to the DSL por t or that the 2247-N8 is negotiating a connection. A solid green DSL light
along with a solid green Internet light indicates that an Internet connection is established.
If your DSL light does not become solid green, verify that the connection from the 2247-N8 DSL port to the telephone/DSL jack is secure. If the con-
nection is secure, contact your ISP (Internet service provider) to verify that your DSL line is functioning properly.
