To turn on the Ethernet light on the router, try the following steps:
1. Check the cable if it is properly connected from the LAN card to the router. The pin of the RJ45 should click once the cable is inserted into the port.
2. Try another cable. Make sure it is a straight through cable.
3. Try another port on the router (ports 1 - 4).
4. Check in device manager if the Network adapter is installed and working properly.
5. Check the Local Area Network connection on your computer if it is enabled.
6. Check the IP address of the computer by going to the command prompt. Type ipconfig. The ip address should start with 192.168.x.x.
Once the ethernet light is ON it means that there is a connection from the computer to the router. To turn on the Internet light on the router, do the following:
1. Access the GUI of the westell router. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of a web browser.
2. By dafault the username is admin; password is password. If this doesn't work, type admin for the username and password field.
3. Once you are in the setup screen, go to the Configuration tab and select your internet connection type. This would depend on your ISP. You need to ask your ISP if you have a PPPoE connection or DHCP.
4. If you have PPPoE, you need to enter your ISP username and password. If you have DHCP, then the internet ip address should be obtained automatically from your ISP.
5. If there is still no internet light, you need to contact your ISP and ask the settings and check your line.
Good luck!
