The 4-Port Combo Ethernet USB Wireless ADSL Router may have different ports and LEDs.
Let’s take a look at the different options.
2.1 Ports and buttons
Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults: The restore to factory defaults feature will set the
Wireless ADSL Router to its factory default configuration by resetting the Wireless ADSL Router.
You may need to place the Wireless ADSL Router into its factory defaults if the configuration is
changed, you loose the ability to interface to the Wireless ADSL Router via the web interface, or
following a software upgrade. To reset the Wireless ADSL Router, simply press the reset button
for about ~ 10 seconds. The Wireless ADSL Router will be reset to its factory defaults and after
about 30 ~ 40 seconds the Wireless ADSL Router will become operational again.
LAN (local area network) E1 to E4 port(s): connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC,
hub, switch, or routers. Some Wireless ADSL Router came with a single LAN connection and
some come with four LAN connections. Depending on the connection, you may need a cross
over cable or a straight through cable.
Power is where you connect the power. Make sure to observe the proper power requirements.
The required power is 9 volts.
USB (universal serial port): connects to a PC’s USB port. The Wireless ADSL Router only
supports Window’s based PCs via an RNDIS driver (included in the software).
DSL port: This is the WAN interface that connects directly to your phone line.
