Pressing the WiFi button turns the wireless radio in the modem router on or off. By

 

default, WiFi is on. The WiFi LED has the following behavior:

 

 

• Solid green. There is WiFi connectivity.

 

• Blinking green. Data is being transmitted or received over the WiFi link.

 

• Off. There is no WiFi connectivity. You can still plug an Ethernet cable into one of

 

the LAN ports to get wired connectivity. For more information about the use of this

 

button, see Advanced Wireless Settings on page 97.

Internet

• Solid green. You have an Internet connection. If the connection timed out based

 

on the setting you entered on the Internet Setup screen, but the DSL connection

 

is still present, the LED stays green. If the Internet connection is dropped for any

 

other reason, the LED turns off.

•Solid red. The Internet (IP) connection failed. For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshoot the Internet Connection on page 142.

•Blinking green. Data is being transmitted over the DSL port.

•Off. No Internet connection is detected or the device is in bridge mode (an external device handles the ISP connection).

DSL

Solid red. The modem router performs a power-on self-test (POST) when it

 

 

starts. After about one minute, the Power LED turns solid green. If the Power LED

 

 

remains red or lights red at any other time, a device malfunction has occurred.

•Off. Power is not supplied to the modem router.

•Blinking red. If you press the Restore Factory Settings button for seven seconds (pressing it briefly only resets the unit), the Power LED blinks red three times and then turns green as the modem router resets to the factory defaults.
