Power LED stays solid amber or blinking amber
When the router is turned on, the Power LED lights solid amber during the boot up,
and then turns solid white when the startup is done. If the Power LED stays solid amber
or blinking amber, or no other LEDs are lit, this indicates a fault within the router.
NOTE: The Power LED is blinking amber temporarily when the firmware is
upgrading, or the Reset button was pressed. This is expected behavior.
If the Power LED stays solid amber or blinking amber for more than three minutes after
powering up, try the following:
• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
• Turn off the router, press and hold the Reset button, power on the router, and then
release the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings.
If the Power LED continues to stay amber, the router firmware might be corrupted. This
can happen if a firmware update is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem with
the firmware. If the error persists, it is likely that a hardware problem exists. For recovery
instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact Technical Support at
netgear.com/support.
Internet or Ethernet LAN port LEDs are off
If the Internet LED or Ethernet LAN port LEDs do not light when an 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.
WiFi LED is off
A WiFi radio is the component inside your router that broadcasts WiFi signal. Each radio
(for example, the 5 GHz radio) has its own WiFi broadcast.
