Troubleshoot with the LEDs | NETGEAR JNR1010V2 instruction

JNR1010v2 N150 Wireless Router

•Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address in the Attached Devices screen (see Attached Devices on page 34).

Troubleshoot with the LEDs

After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events occurs:

1.When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on.

2.Verify that the Power LED turns amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test is running.

3.After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:

•The Power LED is solid green.

•The Internet LED is lit.

•A numbered LAN Ethernet port LED is on for any local port that is connected to a computer. This condition indicates that a link has been established to the connected device.

You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.

Power LED Is Off or Blinking

If the Power LED is Off or blinking, try the following:

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

•Make sure that you are using the power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product.

•If the Power LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This situation can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem with the firmware. 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.

Power LED Stays Amber

When the router is turned on, the Power LED turns amber for about 20 seconds and then turns green. If the LED does not turn green, the router has a problem.

If the Power LED is still amber one minute after you turn on power to the router, try the following:

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

•To return the router to its factory settings, press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button.

For more information, see Factory Settings on page 90.
