Linksys E4200 Appendix A: Troubleshooting Your computer cannot connect to the Internet. Follow these instructions until your computer can connect to the Internet: •• Verify that the power adapter is connected to the router and to a power outlet. If the power adapter is connected to a power strip, make sure the power strip is powered on. •• Make sure that the Power light on the top of the router is lit. If you have any wired computers connected to the router, make sure the appropriate port lights on the back are lit. NOTE: The Power light flashes after the power adapter is connected to the router. If the light flashes for more than 30 seconds, it may indicate that the router is not working properly. For assistance, use a computer or device with Internet access to refer to the support section on the web, www.linksys.com/support •• Make sure that your DSL or cable modem is connected to your router's Internet port using an Ethernet cable. •• Reset all of the devices on your network: 1. Power off all of your network computers and devices, and then disconnect the power adapter from your router. 2. Disconnect your modem's power cord (and coaxial cable if you have a cable modem), and wait two minutes. 3. Reconnect your modem's power cord (and coaxial cable) and wait two more minutes. 4. Reconnect the power adapter to the router, and then power on all of your network computers and devices. The modem does not have an Ethernet port. The modem is a dial-up modem for traditional dial-up service. To use the router, you need a cable/DSL modem and high-speed Internet connection. You cannot use the DSL service to connect manually to the Internet. After you have installed the router, it will automatically connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you no longer need to connect manually.
