Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C
Basic Functioning
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power
LED is on.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:
a. The Power LED is still solid green. An amber light indicates the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b. The Internet LED is lit.
c. The WiFi LED is lit. The WiFi radio is on by default.
d. The Ethernet LAN ports LED is lit when any local ports are connected.
If a LAN port LED on the back of the unit 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 is amber.
e. The Ethernet WAN port LED is lit when the router is connected to a wired modem.
f. One of the Signal Quality LEDs are lit when the router has detected a mobile
broadband signal.
• A blue

• A blue

There is a fault within the router. Try to clear the fault as follows:
• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
• Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s
IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Restoring the
Default Configuration and Password on page 113.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact
Technical Support.
