When the router is turned on, the lights turns on for about 10 seconds and then turn off. If all the
lights stay on, there is a fault within the router.
If all lights are still on one minute after power up:
•
Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
•
Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
192.168.15.1. This procedure is explained in
“Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page 8-7
.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
