LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
Basic Functioning
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1.
When power is first applied, verify that the Power
LED is on.
2.
After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:
a.
The Power LED is still solid green. An amber light indicates the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b.
The Internet LED is lit.
c.
The Wi-Fi radio LED is lit. The Wi-Fi radio is on by default.
d.
The Ethernet LAN port LED is lit when any local ports are connected.
If a LAN port’s LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN
port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s LED is green. If the port
is 10 Mbps, the LED is amber.
e.
The Ethernet WAN port LED is lit when the router is connected to a wired modem.
f.
The Signal LED is lit when the router has detected a mobile broadband signal.
•
A blue LED indicates excellent coverage.

A green LED indicates good coverage.
•
An amber LED indicates marginal coverage.
If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the following table.

Make sure the power cord is correctly connected to your router, and
that the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning
power outlet.
•
Check that you are using the power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for
this product.

If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should
contact Technical Support.
Power LED is
amber.
There is a fault within the router. Try to clear the fault as follows:
•
Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
•
Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the router’s
IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in
Restoring the
Default Configuration and Password
on page 95.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact
Technical Support.
