What troubleshooting steps can I do on my own before calling for support?

If your connection to the Internet should stop working, check to make sure that all of the cables are plugged in correctly (refer to Step 2 if necessary). If this doesn’t fix the problem, shut down your computer and turn off your wireless DSL router. Reconnect the power to your router and turn on your computer. When the Internet light on the router turns green, launch your Web browser.

What do the lights on my wireless DSL router do?

Your wireless DSL router has lights, also called LEDs. The Power and DSL lights should be solid green for your computer to access the Internet. The Internet light will be green when a valid username and password is stored in the router and a connec- tion to your Internet Service Provider is established. Otherwise, it will turn red after a period of time. The Internet light flashes green when network traffic is detected. The Ethernet lights will turn green when a computer is connected and will flash when network traffic is detected. The wireless light will be solid green when the wireless network is enabled and will flash when net- work traffic is detected.
