Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Front Panel
Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Front Panel
The Router’s SecureEasySetup button (the Cisco logo) and LEDs are located on the front panel.
(Cisco logo)
Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay 
orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using 
the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the 
SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will 
turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also 
called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.
To clear the SSID and WPA-PSK key, press and hold down the Cisco logo for five seconds. The 
Cisco logo will flash slowly as the Router resets itself. The Cisco logo will turn orange to 
indicate a successful reset.
Power
Green. The Power LED lights up and will stay on while the Router is powered on. When the 
Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When 
the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.
DMZ
Green. The DMZ LED indicates when the DMZ function is being used. This LED will remain lit 
as long as DMZ is enabled.
WLAN
Green. The WLAN LED lights up whenever there is a successful wireless connection. If the LED 
is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the network.
1, 2, 3, 4
Green. These numbered LEDs, corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router’s back 
panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected 
to a device through that port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.
Internet
Green. The Internet LED lights up when there is a connection made through the Internet port.

NOTE: SecureEasySetup is a feature that makes it 
easy to set up your wireless network. If you have 
SecureEasySetup devices, run the Router’s Setup 
Wizard CD-ROM and follow the on-screen 
instructions to use SecureEasySetup.
