The Front Panel

The Router’s LEDs, where information about network activity is displayed, are located on the front panel.

(Cisco logo) Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay

orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using

the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the

SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will

turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA Shared Key,

the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

To clear the SSID and WPA Shared Key, press and hold down the Cisco logo for five seconds.

The Cisco logo will flash slowly as the Router resets itself. The Cisco logo will turn orange to

indicate a successful reset.

Power Green. The Power LED lights up and will stay on while the Router is powered on. When the

Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When

the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.

DMZ Green. The DMZ LED indicates when the DMZ function is being used. This LED will remain lit

as long as DMZ is enabled.

WLAN Green. The WLAN LED lights up when the wireless feature is enabled. If the LED is flashing,

the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the network.

1, 2, 3, 4 Green. These numbered LEDs, corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router’s back

panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected

to a device through that port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.

Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet port.

NOTE: SecureEasySetup is a feature that makes it

easy to set up your wireless network. If you have

SecureEasySetup devices, run the Router’s Setup

Wizard CD-ROM and follow the on-screen

instructions to use SecureEasySetup.
