Troubleshooting the ISP Connection If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should check the ADSL connection, then the Internet TCP/IP connection. ADSL link If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you have an ADSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the Internet LED. Internet LED Green or Blinking Green If your ADSL Internet LED is green or blinking green, then you have a good ADSL connection. You can be confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is correct. Internet LED Blinking Amber If your ADSL Internet LED is blinking amber, then your wireless-N modem router is attempting to make an ADSL connection with the service provider. The LED should turn green within several minutes. If the Internet LED does not turn green, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being careful to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones. If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL Internet LED, there may be a problem with your wiring. If the telephone company has tested the ADSL signal at your Network Interface Device (NID), then you may have poor quality wiring in your house. ADSL Internet LED Off If the ADSL Internet LED is off, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being careful to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones. If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL Internet LED the problem may be one of the following: • Check that the telephone company has made the connection to your line and tested it.
