EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch

The Front Panel

The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.

QoS

Green. The QoS LED lights up when the QoS feature is active.

Power

Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
Router is running a diagnostic test.

Ethernet

Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is
connected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8). If the LED is
flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

Internet

Green. The Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL modem.
