N150 2-Port Wireless Router WNR612v3

Troubleshooting with the LEDs

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/T

est LED is on.

2. V

erify that the Power/Test LED starts to blink.

3. After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:

• The Power/Test LED is solid green.

• The Internet LED is on.

• A numbered Ethernet port LED is on for any local port that is connected to a

computer

. This indicates that a link has been established to the connected device.

The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting.

Power/Test LED Is Off or Blinking

• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power

adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet.

• Check that you are using the 5V DC, 1A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this

product.

• If the Power/T

est LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted.

This can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem

with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery

instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at

www.netgear.com/support.

Internet or Ethernet Port LEDs Are Off

If either the Ethernet port LEDs or the Internet LED does not light when the Ethernet

connection is made, check the following:

• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the modem

or computer.

• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer

• Be sure that you are using the correct cable:

When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that

was supplied with the cable or DSL modem.

This cable could be a standard

straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.
