• PWR: The PWR LED should turn green. If it does not turn green, check
the adapter or the power switch.
• TEST: The TEST LED lights when the router is first turned on and then
turns off. If after 2 minutes it is still on, see the Troubleshooting Tips in this
guide.
• INTERNET: The INTERNET port LINK LED should be lit. If it is not, make
sure that the Ethernet cable is securely attached to the FVS318v3 Internet
