The Router has been designed to be placed on a desktop. All of the cables
exit from the rear of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED
indicators are easily visible on the front of the Router to provide you with
information about network activity and status.

or restart it, a short period of time elapses while the Router boots up. When
the Router has completely booted up, the Power LED becomes a GREEN light,

These LAN Status LEDs are labeled 1–4 and correspond to the numbered
ports on the rear of the Router. When a computer is properly connected to
one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Router, the LED will light. Solid GREEN
means a computer or a network-enabled device is connected. When information is being
sent over the port, the LED blinks rapidly. ORANGE indicates a 10Base-T connection.
