If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection from a LAN computer.
To do this, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such
as
http://www.yahoo.com
).
If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to configure your Internet
access settings using the information provided by your ISP. If the LEDs still do not
illuminate as expected or the web page is not displayed, see Troubleshooting section
or contact your ISP for assistance.
