wireless network connection using the WPS button.
Before You Begin

1. WAN: Use an Ethernet cable to connect this port to an Ethernet jack
with Internet access.
2. ETHERNET: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to this port
for initial configuration and/or Internet access.
3. Use the power adaptor provided with your FR1000Z to connect an
appropriate power source to this socket.

Checking the LEDs (Lights)
Look at the LEDs (lights) on the top panel of the FR1000Z.
• The POWER light blinks during start-up and is green once the
FR1000Z is ready.
• The WAN light is green if the Internet connection exists and blinks
when transmitting data.
• The INTERNET light is green when Internet access is available.
• The ETHERNET light turns on if the ETHERNET port is properly
connected. The light blinks when the FR1000Z is sending or
receiving data through the ETHERNET port.
• The WIFI light turns on when the wireless network is enabled.
If none of the LEDs (lights) are on, check your connections.
Make sure that you have the power adaptor connected to the
FR1000Z and plugged in to an appropriate power source.
Make sure the power source is turned on. Turn the FR1000Z
off, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on. If the LEDs
are still off, contact your local vendor.
As of writing, the USB LED is reserved for future use.

Wall-mounting
Take the following steps to hang your FR1000Z on a wall.
1. Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy wall.
2. Drill two holes for the screws, exactly 110 mm apart.
3. Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall
when drilling holes for the screws.
4. Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap of
about 0.5 cm between the heads of the screws and the wall.
5. Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to
hold the weight of the FR1000Z with the connection cables.
