RangeMax Wireless-N DSL Gigabit Modem Router DGN3500 User Manual

If the power LED is still red 1 minute after power up:

•Turn the power off and on to see if the router recovers.

•Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in “Using the Wireless On/Off and WPS Buttons to Reset the Router” on page 7-10.

If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact Technical Support.

LAN or ADSL Port LED Is Not On

If either the LAN LEDs or ADSL Link LED does 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 you are using the correct cable: when connecting the ADSL port, use the cable that was supplied with the wireless-N modem router. If the ADSL link LED is still off, this may mean that there is no ADSL service or the cable connected to the ADSL port is bad.
