1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on.
2. Af
ter approximately 10 seconds, verify the following:
a. T
he Power LED is still solid green. An amber light indicates that the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b. T
he Internet LED is lit.
c. T
he WiFi LED is lit. The WiFi radio is on by default.
d. T

If a LAN port’s LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a
L
AN 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.

LED Action
Power Power LED is off. • Make sure that 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
this product.

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 Restore the
Default Configuration and Password on page 81.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact
technical support.
