1.4 Getting to Know the Router

This section contains a short description of LED indicators on the Router’s front
panel, and the ports and buttons on its rear panel.

Front Panel/LED lights

The front panel of the Router features six LEDs.

Power LED
The Power LED indicates the Router’s status. If the Power LED glows green, the
Router is on. If the Power LED is amber, there is a malfunction, hardware failure, or a
boot error.

5G LED
If the 5G LED glows green, the Router can communciate to servers via 5G. If the 5G
Connectivity LED is amber, there is no 5G connectivity and the Router will switch to
4G fallback mode if 4G is available.

4G LED
When the 4G LED glows green, the Router can communicate to servers via 4G. When
the LED is amber, there is no 4G signal. When it blinks amber, a SIM card is missing
or invalid.

Wi-Fi LED
The Wi-Fi LED glows green when the Router is transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. The LED
glows amber to indicate Wi-Fi radio error. When the LED is off, the Router is not
transmitting a Wi-Fi signal.

WPS LED
The WPS LED blinks green to indicate that the WPS button has been pressed and
pairing is active. When pairing is successful, the LED will glow green. When the LED
glows amber, there is a pairing error. The LED is off when WPS is not in use.

Battery LED
When the Battery LED glows green, the Router is plugged in and charging on AC
power. The LED glows amber when the Router is on battery power, and battery life is
between 25% and 100%. The LED blinks amber when battery life is below 25%. The
LED turns off when the battery is depleted or removed.
