Netgear FVS318N User Manual

The wireless VPN firewall’s diagnostic tools are explained in 

Basic Functioning



When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on.

After approximately 2 minutes, verify that:

a. The Test LED is no longer lit.

b.  The left LAN port LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected.

c.  The left WAN port LEDs are lit for any WAN ports that are connected.

If a port’s left LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a port is 
connected to a 1000 Mbps device, verify that the port’s right LED is green. If the port 
functions at 100 Mbps, the right LED is amber. If the port functions at 10 Mbps, the right 
LED is off.

If any of these conditions do not occur, see the appropriate following section.

Power LED Not On

If the Power and other LEDs are off when your wireless VPN firewall is turned on, make sure 
that the power cord is correctly connected to your wireless VPN firewall and that the power 
supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet. 

If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR technical 
support.

Test LED Never Turns Off 

When the wireless VPN firewall is powered on, the Test LED turns on for approximately 
2 minutes and then turns off when the wireless VPN firewall has completed its initialization. If 
the Test LED remains on, there is a fault within the wireless VPN firewall.
