The Front Panel

The front panel of the Wireless Router:

LED Definitions

- Status LED

The LED will be dark for a few seconds when the system is started. After that, the LED will blink periodically to show the Wireless Router is working normally. If the LED stays green/dark that means the system failed, you need to contact your agent or try to reboot the system.

- WLAN LED

I. When Wireless AP is ready for data transmitting and receiving, it is steady green. II. When the data is transmitting or receiving, it is blinking green.

• LAN LEDs

Every port has an Act/Link LED. Steady green (link state) indicates that the port has good linkage to its associated devices. Flashing green indicates that the port is receiving or transmitting data between its associated devices.

- WAN LED

The LED stays light (green) means the WAN port has good linkage to its associated devices. The LED will blink green when there is traffic transverse the port.

- Setup Button

We provide this setup button to help users connecting this router to Internet quickly.

Power Connection

Plug the circle end of the power adapter firmly into the rear panel of the Wireless Router, and the other end put into an electric service outlet then the system is ready.

1. Push the button for more than 5 seconds and then release it, the system will return to factory default setting. In the meantime, system rewrites flash to default value and Status LED halts for a while. Approximately 60 seconds later, the Status LED blinks green periodically, now the whole system parameters have returned to factory default value. If the process has been interrupted by any reason (power off...), the system will fail. Before performing the process, ensure a safe operating environment please!
2. To reboot the Router, press the button for 2-5 seconds and then release it, and all the setting won't be erased. Wait for the Router to complete the reboot, and then you can start to use it.

Warning : Incomplete factory setting recovery procedure will cause the Wireless Router malfunction ! If you are unfortunately in this situation, do not try to repair it by yourself. Consult your local distributor for help!
