The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or receiving data over the WAN port (to the Internet). Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through its self-diagnosis mode during every boot-up. It will turn off upon successful completion of the diagnosis. If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time, see "Appendix A: Troubleshooting." The Reset Button* The Reset button can be used in one of two ways. 1. If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button for just a moment with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This clears up any jammed connections, and is similar to pressing the Reset button on your PC to reboot it. 2. If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, press the Reset Button and hold it down until the red Diag LED on the front panel turns on and off completely. This will restore factory defaults and clear all of the Router's settings, including settings such as IP addresses or a new password. * The Reset Button is located on the front panel of the 4-Port Router, and the rear panels of the 3Port Router and the 1-Port Router.
