Internet or Ethernet Port LEDs Are Off

If you changed the standard LED settings and want to troubleshoot with the LEDs,
change the LED settings back to the standard LED settings (see Turn Off the Router
LEDs on page 170).
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 you connect the router's Internet port to a modem, use the cable that was supplied
with the modem. This cable can be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an
Ethernet crossover cable.

in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
