check your lights again. 
 

What does it mean if your modem lights are red?

  

 

Power

 - If this light is red and all other lights are off, your modem is broken. You need to contact World-Link 

Internet support to get a replacement.  

 

Ethernet – 

If this light is off, then your computer is not connected to the modem. Check the Ethernet cable 

(yellow cable) and refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. 

 

Wireless –

 If this light is off, you have not enabled the modem’s wireless feature or no wireless device 

connected. Follow the section 

Setting Wireless Network

 to enable wireless. 

 

DSL

 - If this light is red or blinking in green, then the DSL is not connected properly. Check the telephone 

wire (gray wire) and refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.  

 

Internet
