If the access point is connected to a LAN through an Ethernet cable, the
"Wired link" LED should be lit (green for 10 Mbps, orange for 100 Mbps)
and the "Wired network activity" LED should be blinking.
•
If the access point is communicating with a wireless adapter, the
"Wireless radio activity" LED should be flashing steadily. The Wireless
radio activity LED blinks faster when the access point is sending or
receiving information from a wireless adapter.
•
Note that there are separate sets of LEDs for "Wireless radio activity"
and "Wireless radio association" for 802.11a and 802.11b networks. The
description indicates which models use which set or sets.
