Efficient Networks 5200 Series User Manual

*

  The 5100 and 5400 series SpeedStream routers have one Ethernet LED; the 5200 and 5500 series 

have four Ethernet LEDs, one for each Ethernet port. 

pwr LED Not Lit 

If the pwr (power) LED is not lit, it is not connecting to the power source. Verify that the power cord is 
firmly plugged into the back panel of the router and that the other end is plugged into an active AC wall 
or power-strip outlet. 

dsl LED Not Lit 

If the DSL LED is not lit, it is not detecting a valid signal from the Central Office (CO). Verify that the 
DSL cable is plugged into the correct router port and the router power cord is plugged into the electrical 
outlet. If the cables are secure, you should contact your Service Provider. 

 

enet LED Not Lit 

This indicates that there is no Ethernet link detected. If you are using the Ethernet connection method, 
check the Ethernet cable connection from the computer to the router. If you have used the wrong cable, 
the LED on the Ethernet (NIC) card in your computer will not be lit either. 

USB LED Not Lit 

This indicates that there is no USB link detected. If you are using the USB installation method, check the 
USB cable connection from the computer to the router. 

If after being prompted for the login password, you receive the error message: 

Login Password is 

invalid: 

• 

Retype the password, and then click Save Settings.  

• 

If you forget your password, you must reset the router. 

  The password is case-sensitive. Be sure that you have not accidentally activated the Caps key. 

(red pwr LED)

POST is the router’s “power-on self-test.” When you power on or reboot the router, the pwr LED goes to 
a solid red until one of two things occurs: it either fails its initial POST tests, or it comes fully up and is 
ready to run. 

• 

If POST passes, the router continues through the rest of its initialization, and the pwr LED changes to 
solid green.
