N150 and N300 Wireless Routers
All LEDs Remain Lit
When the router is turned on, the LEDs light for about 10 seconds and then turn off. If all the
LEDs stay lit, a fault exists within the router.
If all LEDs are still lit one minute after power-up, try the following:
Unplug the router’s power adapter cord. Plug it in again and see if the router recovers.
To return the router to its factory settings, press and hold the Reset button.
For more information, see Factory Settings on page 76.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem. Contact technical support at

Power LED Is Off or Blinking
If the Power LED is Off or blinking, try the following:
Make sure that the power adapter cord is securely connected to your router and securely
connected to a functioning power outlet.
Make sure that you are using the power adapter cord 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

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.

following:
Unplug the router’s power adapter cord. Plug it in again and see if the router recovers.
To return the router to its factory settings, press and hold the Reset button.
