Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Wireless ADSL2+ Modem
Router. This device lets you access the Internet via a
wireless connection or through one of its four switched
ports. You can also use it to share resources such as
computers, printers and files. A variety of security features,
such as WPA2™ security, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)
firewall and NAT technology, help to protect your data
and your privacy while online. Configuration is easy using
the provided browser-based utility.
Front Panel
Power The Power LED is continuously lit green
while the device is powered on. The LED is lit
amber if a POST (Power On Self Test) failure or
device malfunction occurs.
Ethernet 1-3 (Green) These numbered LEDs,
one for each of the numbered ports on the
Modem Router’s back panel, serve two purposes.
If the LED is continuously lit, the Modem Router is
successfully connected to a device through that
port. It flashes to indicate network activity over
that port.
NOTE: The Ethernet 1 LED is lit amber
when the WAN link is established on that
port.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ Button Press this
button to have Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ search for
your Wi-Fi Protected Setup™-supported wireless
device. The LED is continuously lit green when a
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ connection is successfully
established. The LED blinks slowly while Wi-Fi
Protected Setup™ is setting up a connection, and
is lit amber if an error occurs. The LED is off when
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ is idle.
NOTE:
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ is a feature
that makes it easy to configure your
wireless network and its security settings.
Wireless (Green) The Wireless LED lights up
when the wireless feature is enabled. It flashes
when the Modem Router is actively sending or
receiving data over the network.
DSL (Green) The DSL LED lights up whenever
there is a successful DSL connection. The LED
flashes green while the Modem Router is
establishing the ADSL connection.
Internet (Green/Red) The Internet LED lights up
green and stays on when a connection is made
through the Internet port. It flashes to indicate
network activity over the Internet port. The LED
is lit red when an authentication error occurs.
Back Panel
DSL The DSL port connects to the ADSL line.
Ethernet 3, 2, 1 The Ethernet ports (3, 2, 1)
connect the Modem Router to wired computers
and other Ethernet network devices.

also be configured as the WAN
port. To do this, access the Web-
based utility (refer to “Chapter 3:
Advanced Configuration” on page 4),
then select the Setup > Ethernet tab.

Router’s factory defaults. Either press and
