one of the three remaining LAN ports.

Verifying Your Connection

Verify that your router is connected correctly by checking the modem router status lights.

• The power light should turn solid green. If it does not, see “Basic Functioning” on

page 29.

• The ADSL link light is lit, indicating an ADSL connection. This might take a minute.

• Both the 2.GHz N/G-Band and 5.0 GHz N-Band lights should be on.

Now, turn on your computer. If software usually logs you in to your Internet connection, do not run

that software. Cancel it if it starts automatically. Verify the following:

The local LAN light is lit for the port where you connected your computer. Green indicates

that your computer is communicating at 100 Mbps; amber indicates 10 Mbps. If a LAN light is not

lit, check that the Ethernet cable from the computer to the router is securely attached at both ends,

and that the computer is turned on.
