The Cable/DSL Wireless-Ready Router’s Front Panel LEDs

Diag

Red. The Diag LED illuminates when the Router goes
through its self-diagnosis mode during boot-up and restart. It
will turn off upon successful completion of the diagnosis. If
this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time,
refer to the Troubleshooting section. During firmware
upgrades, this will also flash.

Power

Green. The Power LED illuminates when the Router is pow-
ered on.

Full/Col

Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this
LED is continuously illuminated, the connection made
through the corresponding port is successfully running in
Full Duplex mode. If the LED is flickering, the connection is
experiencing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal. If
this LED is flickering too often, there may be a problem with
your connection. Check the Troubleshooting section if you
think there is a problem.

Link/Act

Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED
is continuously illuminated, the Router is successfully con-
nected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3 or
4). If the LED is flickering, the Router is actively sending or
receiving data over that port.

100

Orange. The 100 LED illuminates when a successful
100Mbps connection is made through the corresponding
port.
