Troubleshooting with the LEDs

After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:

When power is first applied, verify that the Power/Test LED 

 is lit.

Verify that the Power/Test LED turns amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test 

is running.

After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:

The Power/Test LED is solid green.

The Internet LED is lit.

A numbered Ethernet port LED is lit for any local port that is connected to a computer. 
This indicates that a link has been established to the connected device.

The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting.

Power/Test LED Is Off or Blinking

Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power 
adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet. 

Make sure that you are using the power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product.

If the Power/Test LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. 
This can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem 
with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery 
instructions or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at 

Power/Test LED Stays Amber

When the router is turned on, the Power/Test LED turns amber for about 20 seconds and 
then turns green. If the LED does not turn green, the router has a problem.

If the Power/Test LED is still amber 1 minute after you turn on power to the router:

Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers.

Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings.
