Checking the Internet Service Connection

If your router is unable to access the Internet, check that the Internet connection is working, and
then check that the wireless-N gigabit router can get an Internet address.
Check that the Internet connection is working:
1. Internet connection. First verify that your cable or ADSL modem has a successful
connection. The cable or ADSL modem status lights indicate if the modem connection is
successful or not. Check your modem documentation, or call your Internet Service Provider
for help with verifying that the modem has a successful connection.
2. Wireless router Internet light is green or blinking green. If your Internet light is green or
blinking green, then you have a good Internet connection, and your wiring is correct.

your wireless-N gigabit router is attempting to make an Internet connection with the service
provider. The light should turn green within several minutes. If it does not, check the Internet
connection on the modem.
4. Wireless router Internet light off. If the Internet light is off, verify that the Ethernet cable is
securely connected between the cable or ADSL modem, and that both the modem and
wireless-N gigabit router are turned on.
