Chapter 1:

Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Wireless ADSL2+ Modem

Router. The Modem Router lets you access the Internet via

a wireless connection or through one of its four switched

ports. You can also use the Modem Router to share

resources such as computers, printers and files. A variety

of security features help to protect your data and your

privacy while online. Security features include WPA2™

security, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT

technology. Configuring the Modem Router is easy using

the provided browser-based utility.

Front Panel

Power (Green/Red) The Power LED lights up

green and stays on while the Modem Router is

powered on. The LED is lit red if a POST (Power

On Self Test) failure or a device malfunction

occurs.

Ethernet 1-4 (Green) These numbered LEDs,

one for each of the numbered ports on the

Modem Router’s back panel, serve two purposes.

If the LED is continuously lit, the Modem Router

is successfully connected to a device through

that port. It flashes to indicate network activity

over that port.

NOTE (WAG160N v2 only): The

Ethernet 1 LED is lit amber when the

WAN link is established on that port.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ Button (Green)

Press this button to have Wi-Fi Protected

Setup™ search for your Wi-Fi Protected Setup™-

supported wireless device. The LED lights up

and stays on when a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™

connection is successfully established. The LED

blinks slowly while Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ is

setting up a connection, and blinks rapidly if an

error occurs. The LED is off when Wi-Fi Protected

Setup™ is idle.

NOTE:

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ is a feature

that makes it easy to configure your

wireless network and its security settings.

Wireless (Green) The Wireless LED lights up

when the wireless feature is enabled. It flashes

when the Modem Router is actively sending or

receiving data over the network.

DSL (Green) The DSL LED lights up whenever

there is a successful DSL connection. The

LED flashes green while the Modem Router is

establishing the ADSL connection.

Internet (Green/Red) The Internet LED lights

up green and stays on when a connection is

made through the Internet port. It flashes to

indicate network activity over the Internet port.

The LED is lit red when an authentication error

occurs.

Back Panel

Ethernet 1, 2, 3, 4 These Ethernet ports (1,

computers and other Ethernet network

devices.

Ethernet 1 port can also be configured

as the WAN port. To do this, access the

Web-based utility (refer to Chapter

4: Advanced Configuration), then

select the Setup > Ethernet tab.

Router’s factory defaults. Either press and

hold the Reset button for approximately five

seconds, or restore the defaults from the

first way is to place the device horizontally on a surface.

The second way is to mount the device on a wall.

The best place for the the Modem Router is usually at the
