N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3

Troubleshoot with the LEDs

When you turn on the power, the Power, LAN, and DSL LEDs light as described here. If they do not, refer to the sections that follow for help.

1.When power is first applied, the Power LED lights solid red.

2.After approximately 10 seconds, the LAN port LED lights green for any local ports that are connected.

3.After approximately 1 minute, the DSL link LED lights green to indicate that a DSL link is established.

4.After approximately one minute, the Power LED turns solid green .

Power LED Is Off

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

Check that the On/Off button on the back panel is in the On position, that is, it is pushed in.

Check that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and that the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.

Check that you are using the 12 VDC 1A power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.

If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem. For recovery instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.

Power LED Is Red

When the modem router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test, during which time the Power LED turns red. If the Power LED does not turn green within a minute or so, or if it turns red at any other time during normal operation, there is a fault within the modem router.

If the Power LED turns red to indicate a modem router fault, turn the power off and on to see if the modem router recovers. If the Power LED is still red one minute after power-up:

Turn the power off and on one more time to see if the modem router recovers.

Clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults (see Side Panel with Restore Factory Settings Button on page 12). This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1.

If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.
