MR40/MR50 LED Indicators
The LED lights can help you gain a quick understanding of your router's operational status and identify potential problems.
The MR40/MR50 features several LED indicators that provide valuable information about the router's status and activity. Understanding these lights can help you quickly diagnose potential issues and ensure your network is running smoothly. Here's a breakdown of each LED and what it signifies:

- Off: The router is powered off. If this light is off, ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the router and a working power outlet.
- On: The router is powered on and functioning correctly.
SYS (System):
- Off: The system is running normally. This is the typical state when the router is operating without any issues.

- On: The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio is turned on and broadcasting. Devices can connect to this network.
- Blinking: The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network has data traffic. This indicates that devices are actively using the network to send and receive data.
5.8G (5.8GHz Wi-Fi):
- Off: The 5.8GHz Wi-Fi radio is turned off. No devices can connect to this Wi-Fi network.
- On: The 5.8GHz Wi-Fi radio is turned on and broadcasting. Devices can connect to this network.
