Check Ethernet cable connections
If the router does not power on, make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged
in. The Internet LED on the router is lit if the Ethernet cable connecting the router and
the modem is plugged in securely and the modem and router are turned on. If one or
more powered-on devices are connected to the router by an Ethernet cable, the
corresponding numbered router LAN port LED lights.
Network settings
Make sure that the network settings of the computer with which you want to connect to
the router are correct. Wired computers (and mobile devices that are connected to an
access point that is directly connected to the router) must use network IP addresses on
the router’s LAN network. The simplest way to do this is to configure each computer to
obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP.
Some service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer that was
initially registered on the account, but this is an uncommon situation. You can view the
MAC address on the Attached Devices page (see View devices currently on the network
on page 117).
Troubleshoot with the LEDs
You can troubleshoot by checking the LEDs.
For complete information about the router LEDs, see the hardware installation guide,
which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.
Standard LED behavior when the router is powered on
After you turn on power to the router, verify that the following sequence of events occurs:
1.
When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is lit.
2.
After about two minutes, verify the following:
•
The Power LED is solid green.
•
The WAN LED is solid or blinking green.
•
The LAN LED for a powered-on device that attached to the corresponding LAN
port is solid or blinking green.
You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.
