The WAN port LED is lit.

If a port’s LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN port is
connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s LED is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the
LED will be amber.

If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section.

Power LED Not On

If the Power and other LEDs are off when your router is turned on:

Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply

Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.

If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.

When the router is turned on, the Test LED turns on for about 10 seconds and then turns off. If the
Test LED does not turn on, or if it stays on, there is a fault within the router.

If you experience problems with the Test LED:

Cycle the power to see if the router recovers and the LED blinks for the correct amount of
time.

If all LEDs including the Test LED are still on one minute after power up:
