Next is the Ethernet light, which stays off (not connected to the router). Then are the US and DS lights, which blink for awhile and then stay on. The last light is the "Ready" light, which eventually goes solid green. I assume that's the Internet light. Nothing blinks rapidly at this point. > 3. turn on your router.

On the router there are lights labeled Power, 2.4 GHz, 5GHz, Router, and Diag. The 2.4 light is mostly on, but blinks off and back on occasionally. That seems normal, because there are three wi-fi devices in the house, and one of them is running, although it's not doing anything. The 5.0 light stays on. There are no devices in the house with that speed. Both of those lights are shaped like ))), except there are three different sized ). I think that's supposed to look like a radio wave. The Router light is a circle with a slash through it. It blinks rapidly, just like the Ethernet light on the modem. I don't recall ever seeing the Diag light lit. > 4. go to your routers web page and check WAN status. IP4 and IP 6 > addresses should pop up within 5 min.

There is, but nothing happens when I click on it. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
