Mobile LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1516

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 a minute, 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 Port LED is lit.

c. The WiFi LED is lit. The WiFi radio

is on by default.

d. The 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

connect

ed 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 WAN Port LED is lit when the router is connected to a wired modem.

f. The Signal Quality L

ED is lit when the router has detected a mobile broadband

signal.

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

Power LED is off. • Make sure the power cord is correctly connected to your router, and

that the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning

power outlet.

• Check that you are using the power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for

The

re 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 defa

ults. This sets the router’s

IP address to www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in

If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact

technical support.
