The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
Power
Green. The
Power
LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
Router is booting up, running a system self-test, or upgrading its firmware.
Ethernet 1-3
Green. The
Ethernet
LED serves two purposes. If the LED is solidly lit, the Router is
connected to a device through the corresponding port (Ethernet 1, 2, or 3). If the LED is
flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over that port.
Phone 1-2
Green. The
Phone
LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has a registered
connection to Vonage through the corresponding port (Phone 1 or Phone 2). (The connection
is registered if your Vonage service account is active.) This LED is not lit when there is no
registered connection. It flashes when the phone is being used or an incoming call has been
detected.
Internet
Green. The
Internet
LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL
modem. If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.

Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
Overview
Linksys recommends using the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. If you do not wish to run
the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the Router. For
advanced users, you may configure the Router’s advanced settings through the Web-based Utility.
This chapter will describe each web page on the Utility and each page’s key functions. The Utility can be
accessed via your web browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup,
most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
•
Basic Setup. On the
Basic Setup
screen, enter the Internet connection settings provided by your ISP. If you do
not have this information, you can call your ISP to request the settings. Once you have the setup information
for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can configure the Router.
•
Management. Click the
Administration
tab and then the
Management
tab. The Router’s default password
is
admin
. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.
There are six main tabs: Setup, Security, Voice, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional
tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
Setup
•
Basic Setup. Enter the Internet connection and network settings on this screen.
•
DDNS. Enable the Router’s Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature on this screen.
