support Wi-Fi.

Modem LEDs—Two modem LEDs indicate carrier detection and link status.

Signal LEDs—Three signal LEDs display the signal strength level of the wireless connection.

Ethernet LEDs—These LEDs are not on the top panel. See the section Ethernet LED Descriptions for
descriptions of these LEDs.
