Testing your Setup Once you have connected your hardware and configured your PCs, any computer on your LAN should be able to use the DSL /Cable connection to access the Internet. To test the connection, turn on the device, wait for 30 seconds and then verify that the LEDs are illuminated as follows: Label POWER WLAN WPS WAN Table 1. LED Indicators Color Function green On: device is powered on Off: device is powered off green On: WLAN link established and active Blink: Valid Wireless packet being transferred green Off: WPS link isn't established and active Blink: Valid WPS packet being transferred green On: WAN link established and active Off: No LAN link Blink: Valid Ethernet packet being transferred LAN 1/2/3/4 green On: LAN link established and active Off: No LAN link Blink: Valid Ethernet packet being transferred If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection from a LAN computer. To do this, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such as http://www.yahoo.com). The LED labeled WAN should blink rapidly and then appear solid as the device connects to the site. If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to configure your Internet access settings using the information provided by your ISP. For details, see Internet Access. If the LEDs still do not illuminate as expected or the web page is not displayed, see Troubleshooting Suggestions or contact your ISP for assistance. Default device settings In addition to handling the xDSL / Cable modem connection to your ISP, the Wireless Gateway can provide a variety of services to your network. The device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a typical home or small office network. The table below lists some of the most important default settings; these and other features are described fully in the subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with network configuration, review these settings to verify that they meet the needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar with these settings, try using the device without modification, or contact your ISP for assistance. WARNING We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to changing the default configuration. 41
