This page contains information the different types of LEDs and their behaviour on a {{{name}}} router.

Power LED

The power LED is located on the bottom left corner of the front panel, just under the power connector.

[[File:{{{file_power}}}|400px]]

It indicates whether the router is powered on or not

State	Description
LED turned on	Router is powered on
LED turned off	Router is not powered on

WiFi band LEDs

The WiFi band LEDs are located at the bottom of the front panel of the router, to the left of the Ethernet ports.

[[File:{{{file_wifi}}}|400px]]

They display whether a WiFi Access Point (AP) is active on a specific band.

State	Description
2.4 LED turned on	At least one 2.4 GHz Access Point is running
2.4 LED turned off	No 2.4 GHz Access Points are running
5 LED turned on	At least one 5 GHz Access Point is running
5 LED turned off	No 5 GHz Access Points are running

WAN type LEDs

The WAN type LEDs are located at the top-right of the front panel.

[[File:{{{file_wan}}}|400px]]

They indicate which type of Internet connection is currently active.

State	Description
SIM1 LED on	A mobile data connection on SIM1 is active.
SIM1 LED off	A mobile data connection on SIM1 is inactive.
SIM2 LED on	A mobile data connection on SIM2 is active.
SIM2 LED off	A mobile data connection on SIM2 is inactive.
WiFi LED on	A WiFi data connection (WiFi WAN) is active.
WiFi LED off	A WiFi data connection (WiFi WAN) is inactive.
ETH LED on	An Ethernet data connection (wired WAN) is active.
ETH LED off	An Ethernet data connection (wired WAN) is inactive.

Ethernet port LEDs

There are two LEDs located at the top of each Ethernet port.

[[File:{{{file_ethernet}}}|400px]]

They provide information on the current states of the Ethernet ports. Each port has two LEDs:

Orange - 10/100 Mbps connection
Green - 1000 Mbps connection

Below is an explanation on the behaviours of green and orange LEDs.

State	Description
LED on	A data connection on the port is operational (cable plugged in, end device visible, no data is being transferred)
LED off	No data connection on the port is operational (no cable, bad cable or end device not visible for some other reason (such as damaged network card))
LED blinking	Connection established and data is being transferred over this port

Mobile network type LEDs

The mobile network type LEDs are located just above the first SIM holder.

[[File:{{{file_net_type}}}|400px]]

They display which type of Internet connection is currently active.

Action	Description

Mobile signal strength indication LEDs

The mobile signal strength indication LEDs are located just above the second SIM holder.

[[File:{{{file_signal}}}|400px]]

The number of lit up LEDs represents a different mobile signal strength value in dBm for the currently active SIM card.

No. of lit up LEDS	Signal strength
0	≤ -111 dBm
1	-110 dBm to -97 dBm
2	-96 dBm to -82 dBm
3	-81 dBm -67 dBm
4	-66 dBm to -52 dBm
5	≥ -51 dBm
