Chapter 1 Introduction
LAN Ethernet Lights (1, 2, 3, 4)
The
LAN
Ethernet lights illuminate when the Router is connected to a local
network via one or more of its Ethernet ports. If flashing, data traffic is passing
across the port(s).
LAN Coax Light
The
LAN
Coax light glows steadily or flashes when the Router is connected to a
local network via its Coax port.
USB Light
The
USB
light illuminates when the Router is connected to a device via a
USB
cable.
Wireless Light
The Wireless
light illuminates when the Router’s wireless access point is turned
on. If flashing, data traffic is passing across the wireless connection.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
WiFi Protected Setup (
WPS
) provides an easier way to set up a wireless network.
Instead of entering passwords or multiple keys on each wireless client (laptop,
printer, external hard drive, etc.), the Router can create a wireless network that
only requires pressing buttons (one on the Router, and one on the client [either
built-in, or on a compatible wireless card]) to allow wireless clients to join the
Router’s wireless network. Although the
WPS
button is included on the router,
the
WPS
functionality is not enabled until a future firmware release. The button
is included so that
WPS
can be activated with a future firmware release without
having to change the Router. The
GUI
does not include the
WPS
option.
