The Router’s LEDs, shown in Figure 2-2, display information about the
Router’s status.
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered
on.
Diag Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through
its self-diagnosis mode during every boot-up. It will turn off
upon successful completion of the diagnosis.
If this LED stays on for one minute or longer, see “Appendix
A: Troubleshooting.”

The Reset Button
The Reset button can be used in one of two ways:
1. If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset
button for just a moment with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This clears up any
jammed connections, and is similar to pressing the Reset button on your PC
to reboot it.
This will reboot the Router while keeping all of the Router’s settings.
2. If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all
other troubleshooting measures, press the Reset Button and hold it down for
10 seconds.
This will restore factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings,
including settings such as a new password or wireless settings.

The Router’s ports, shown in Figure 2-1, are located on the Router’s back panel.
Internet The Internet port is where you connect your cable or DSL
modem through an Ethernet network cable. Your modem
connection will not work from any other port.
Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports connect to net-
work devices, such as PCs, print servers, and network
attached storage (NAS). Each of the ports will auto-detect
whether a straight-through or crossover cable is plugged into
it, so there is no need for an uplink port. Any one of the four
ports can serve as an uplink port to other network devices.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.
