Power Light
The Power light displays the FiOS Router’s current status. If the Power light glows
steadily green, the FiOS Router is receiving power and fully operational. When
the Power light flashes rapidly, the FiOS Router is initializing. If the Power light is
not illuminated or glows red when the Power cord is plugged in and the Power
switch is turned on, the FiOS Router has suffered a critical error and technical
support should be contacted.
WAN Ethernet Light
The WAN Ethernet light illuminates when the FiOS Router is connected to the
Internet via Ethernet. If flashing, data traffic is passing across the port.
WAN Coax Light
The WAN Coax light glows steadily or flashes when the FiOS Router is connected
to the Internet via coaxial cable.
Internet Light
When the Internet light glows steadily green, the FiOS Router is connected
to the ISP (Internet Service Provider). If it glows amber, there is a physical
connection to the ONT (Optical Network Terminator), but authentication has not
taken place (i.e., no IP address is present).
LAN Ethernet Lights (1, 2, 3, 4)
The LAN Ethernet lights illuminate when the FiOS Router is connected to a local
network via one or more of its Ethernet ports. If flashing, data traffic is passing
across the port(s).
LAN Coax Light
The LAN Coax light glows steadily or flashes when the FiOS Router is connected
to a local network via its Coax port.

USB Light
The USB light illuminates when the FiOS Router is connected to a device via a
USB cable.
Wireless Light
The Wireless
light illuminates when the FiOS Router’s wireless access point is
turned on. If flashing, data traffic is passing across the wireless connection.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easier way to set up a wireless network. Instead
of entering passwords or multiple keys on each wireless client (laptop, printer,
external hard drive, etc.), the FiOS Router can create a wireless network that only
requires the pressing of buttons (one on the FiOS Router, and one on the client
[either built-in, or on a compatible wireless card]) to allow wireless clients to join
the FiOS Router’s wireless network. Although the WPS button is included on
the FiOS Router, WPS functionality will not be enabled until a future firmware
release. The button is included so that WPS can be activated at a later date
without having to physically change the FiOS Router. The GUI does not include
the WPS option.
1.4b Bottom Panel
The bottom panel of the FiOS Router has a sticker that contains important
information about the FiOS Router, including default ESSID, MAC address, WEP
key, etc.

Reset Button
To restore the FiOS Router’s factory default settings, press and hold the Reset
button for approximately ten seconds. The reset process will start about ten
seconds after releasing the button. When the FiOS Router resets, all the lights on
the front panel turn off, and then some of
the lights start flashing. The FiOS Router
has completed its reset process when the Power light glows steadily green.
Caution!
Do not unplug the Power cord from the FiOS Router during the
reset process. Doing so may result in the loss of the FiOS Router’s configuration
information. If this occurs, reset the FiOS Router again.
LAN Ethernet Ports (4)
The LAN Ethernet ports connect devices to the FiOS Router via Ethernet cables
to create a local area network (LAN). The LAN Ethernet ports are 10/100/1000
Mbps auto-sensing ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet
cable can be used when connecting devices to the ports.
WAN Ethernet Port
The WAN Ethernet port connects the FiOS Router to the ISP using an Ethernet cable.
USB Port
The USB port provides up to 5 VDC for attached devices (to charge a cell phone,
for example). In the future, with a firmware release upgrade, the USB host
functionality will be available for devices such as external storage and cameras.
Wireless Antenna
The FiOS Router’s wireless antenna is used to transmit a wireless signal to other
wireless devices on its wireless network.
