Fairly simple
Power: Whether the device is on
Status: Whether it's working
WAN: Whether it's connected to the 'Net
WLAN: Whether it's connected to any wireless devices (such as your laptop)
The first two should be solid colors if the device is working OK. The second two will blink as data is transferred.
my router
thank you for getting back to me. The reason that I asked about those lights was because when both computers are off for the night, the local network lights go off as there supposed to do, but my wlan and lan continue to show activity. the router is a wire less unit, but the two computers are connected by either net cables, due to reception issues.
When road runner slows way down, I figured that some one has found a way to move in on our net work here, helping them selves to our signal
I figured that activitive lights ment un authorised
acess, after both computers have been powered down for the night.
thanks
Encryption on?
Do you have either WEP or WPA enabled?
