The LAN LED (LAN) should be lit (amber for a 10 Mbps connection and green for a
100 Mbps connection).
If any of these conditions do not occur, see to the appropriate following section.
No LEDs are Lit on the Wireless Access Point
It takes a few seconds for the power LED (PWR) to light up. Wait a minute and check the power
LED status on the wireless access point. If the wireless access point has no power:
•
Make sure the power cord is connected to the access point and plugged in to a working power
outlet or power strip. If it is plugged directly into the wall, verify that it is not a switched
outlet.
•
Make sure you are using the correct NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your wireless
access point.
The LAN LED is Not Lit
There is a hardware connection problem. Check these items:
•
Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the wireless access point and the
network device (hub, switch, or router). A switch, hub, or router must be installed between the
wireless access point and the Ethernet LAN or broadband modem.
•
Make sure the connected device is turned on.
•
Be sure the correct cable is used. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch cable. If the
network device has Auto Uplink™ (MDI/MDIX) ports, you can use either a crossover cable or
a normal patch cable.
