If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section.

Power LED Is Not On

If the Power and other LEDs are off when your router is turned on:

•Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet.

•Check that you are using the 12V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.

Power LED Is Red

When the router is turned on, the modem router performs a power-on self-test. If the Power LED turns red, there is a fault within the router. Try to clear the fault as follows:

•Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.

•Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s IP address to 10.0.0.2. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 7-8.

If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.

If these LEDs do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following:

•Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation.

•Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.

•Be sure that you are using the correct cable. When connecting the router’s WAN ADSL port, use the cable that was supplied with the DG834GUv5.
