NOTE: The network activity indicators can be seen on the router’s back panel.
Ethernet and Internet LEDs (Yellow and Green) – The LEDs on these ports indicate network activity as well as the network standard being used. The yellow light flashes to indicate network activity over that port. The green light turns on when the local network port is connected to a 10/100/1000 port.
NOTE: On the Linksys E3200 and E4200, since its Ethernet ports are gigabit ports, the LED lights up green when a Gigabit cable is connected to it and blue when a 10/100 Ethernet cable is connected.
If the LEDs are not lit after connecting your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable, try using another Ethernet cable. If it's still not lit, try using another computer. If the Ethernet LED lights up, that may mean that the first computer's Network Interface Card (NIC) is not functioning properly or the LAN connection is inactive. To learn how to enable the LAN connection, refer to your computer's documentation.
