The LED is continuously lit green 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 is lit amber (WAG120N) or blinks rapidly (WAG160N v2 and WAG320N) 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.
USB (WAG320N only) (Green) The USB LED lights up when a USB device is connected to the
Modem Router through the USB port.
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

Product Overview
Placement Positions
There are two ways to physically install the device. 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 device is usually at the center of your wireless network, within range of all of your wireless devices.
Horizontal Placement
The device has four rubber feet on its bottom panel. Place the device on a level surface near an electrical outlet.
Wall-Mounting Placement
The device |
has two wall-mount slots on its bottom |
panel. The |
distance between the slots is 152 mm |
(6 inches). |
|
Two screws are needed to mount the device.

Wireless Security Checklist
Chapter 2:
Wireless Security Checklist
Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure.
1.Change the default wireless network name or SSID
Wireless devices have a default wireless network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by the factory. This is the name of your wireless network, and can be up to 32 characters in length. Linksys by Cisco wireless products use linksys as the default wireless network name. You should change the wireless network name to something unique to distinguish your wireless network from other wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not use personal information (such as your Social Security number) because this information may be available for anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.
2. Change the default password
For wireless products such as access points, routers, and modem routers, you will be asked for a password when you want to change their settings. These devices have a default password set by the factory. The default password is admin. Hackers know these defaults and may try to use them to access your wireless device and change your network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customize the device’s password so it will be hard to guess.
3. Enable MAC address filtering
Linksys by Cisco routers and modem routers give you the ability to enable Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a unique series of numbers and letters assigned to every networking device. With MAC address filtering enabled, wireless network access is provided solely for wireless devices with specific MAC addresses. For example, you can specify the MAC address of each computer in your home so that only those computers can access your wireless network.
4. Enable encryption
Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA™/WPA2™) and Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication.
A network encrypted with WPA™/WPA2™ is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA™/WPA2™ uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the highest level of encryption supported by your network equipment.
WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the only option available on some older devices that do not support WPA™.
General Network Security Guidelines
Wireless network security is useless if the underlying network is not secure.
•• Password protect all computers on the network and individually password protect sensitive files.
•• Change passwords on a regular basis.
•• Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.
•• Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing without your consent and/or knowledge.
Additional Security Tips
•• Keep wireless routers, access points, or modem routers away from exterior walls and windows.
•• Turn wireless routers, access points, or modem routers off when they are not being used (at night, during vacations).
•• Usestrongpassphrasesthatareatleasteightcharacters in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary.
