NETGEAR Router Setup Manual

3-4 Connecting the Router to the Internet

August 2004

Figure 3-4: Verify the connections according to the status lights on the router

Check the router status lights to verify the following:

• Power: The power light should turn solid green. If it does not, see “Troubleshooting

Tips” on page 3-6.

• Test: The test light should be off. The test light blinks when the router is first turned on

then goes off. If after 2 minutes it is still on, see the Troubleshooting Tips below.

• Internet: The Internet port light should be lit. If not, make sure the Ethernet cable is

securely attached to the router Internet port and the modem, and the modem is

powered on.

• LAN: A LAN light should be lit. Green indicates your computer is communicating at

100 Mbps; yellow indicates 10 Mbps. If a LAN light is not lit, check that the Ethernet

cable from the computer to the router is securely attached at both ends, and that the

computer is turned on.

Use the Smart Wizard to Configure Your Router

For DSL customers, if your Internet service provider had you install software logs you in to the

Internet, do not run that software. If such software automatically starts when you open a browser,

you may need to go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu, Internet Options, Connections tab page

where you can select “Never dial a connection.”

1. From the Ethernet connected computer you just set up, open a browser such as Internet

Explorer or Netscape® Navigator.
