When the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router has power again, continue to hold the RESET button for about five seconds to reset the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router to the factory default settings.
  4. LAN1 LED: This LED is lighted and green when a 100 Mbps connection is established to LAN port 1 or blinking and green when LAN port 1 is sending and receiving data. This LED is lighted and yellow when a 10 Mbps connection is established to LAN port 1 or blinking and yellow when LAN port 1 is sending and receiving data.
  5. LAN2 LED: This LED is lighted and green when a 100 Mbps connection is established to LAN port 2 or blinking and green when LAN port 2 is sending and receiving data. This LED is lighted and yellow when a 10 Mbps connection is established to LAN port 2 or blinking and yellow when LAN port 2 is sending and receiving data.
  6. WAN LED: The green WAN port LED is lighted when a connection is established and flashes when the WAN port is sending or receiving data.
  7. WLAN LED: This LED is lighted and green when there is a connection to the wireless network or blinking and green when the wireless clients are sending or receiving data.

Note: The USRobotics 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router can easily be connected to any Ethernet-based cable modem or DSL modem, or an RS-232 based analogue or ISDN modem. You can verify compatibility by checking to see if your cable or DSL modem is connected to the network adapter in your computer using an Ethernet cable. The 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router cannot be connected to a cable, DSL, analogue, or ISDN modem that only uses a USB connection.

There are five types of WAN network connections that are supported by the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router: Static IP Address, Dynamic IP Address, Dynamic IP Address with Road Runner Session Management, PPP over Ethernet, PPTP, or Dial-up Network. If you have a Static IP, Dynamic IP Address, IP Address with Road Runner Session Management, PPP over Ethernet, or PPTP connection, refer to Appendix A in the Appendixes section. If you have a dial-up connection, refer to Appendix B in the Appendixes section. If you are unsure about the specifics of your network connection, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
