Connection status LEDs
The connection status LEDs are located near the right corner of the front panel, to the left of the signal strength indication LEDs:
The LEDs display the router’s current connection state and network type among a few other things:
Action | Description |
|---|---|

3G LED blinking every 1 sec | Connected 3G, no data session established |
4G LED blinking every 1 sec | Connected 4G, no data session established |
2G LED turned ON | Connected 2G with data session |
3G LED turned ON | Connected 3G with data session |
4G LED turned ON | Connected 4G with data session |
2G LED blinking rapidly | Connected 2G with data session and data is being transferred |
3G LED blinking rapidly | Connected 3G with data session and data is being transferred |
4G LED blinking rapidly | Connected 4G with data session and data is being transferred |
Signal strength LEDs
The signal strength LEDs are located on the right corner of the front panel, to the right of the connection status LEDs
Each lit up LED represents a different value of the router’s current signal strength in RSSI:
NO. OF LIT UP LEDs | SIGNAL STRENGTH VALUE |
|---|---|
0 | ≤ -111 dBm |
1 | -110 dBm to -97 dBm |
2 | -96 dBm to -82 dBm |
3 | -81 dBm to -67 dBm |
4 | -66 dBm to -52 dBm |
5 | ≥ -51 dBm |
The signal strength LEDs can also be used as a time indicator for holding the reset button. When you press and hold the reset button, you have to hold it pressed for 5 seconds (by default) to initiate a factory reset. Each second, a new signal strength LED lights up. When all 5 LEDs are lit up, it represents that 5 seconds have passed since you pressed down on the reset button and that you can release it.
After releasing the button, all 5 LEDs will start blinking every 1 second. This signifies that the router has begun the factory reset.
