Power Light Stays Amber
When the router is turned on, the power light is amber and then changes to green after about 30
seconds. If the power light stays amber, there is a fault within the router.
If the power light is still amber 1 minute after power-on:
•
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
192.168.1.1. This procedure is explained in
“Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page -7
.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
LAN or Internet Port Lights Not On
If either the LAN lights or Internet light do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check
the following:
•
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or
workstation.
•
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.
•
Be sure you are using the correct cable.
Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface
If you are unable to access the router’s Web Configuration interface from a computer on your local
network, check the following:
•
Check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the
previous section.
Note:
When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the
cable that was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a
standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.
