Checking the LEDs
Look at the LEDs at the front panel of the P-870HN-5xb.
• The POWER LED blinks during start-up and is green once the P-
870HN-5xb is ready.
• Each ETHERNET LED turns on if the corresponding ETHERNET
port is properly connected. The LEDs blink when the P-870HN-5xb
is sending or receiving data through the corresponding ETHERNET
port.
• The DSL LED stays on if a physical DSL connection exists.
• The INTERNET LED is green when Internet access is available and
blinks when transmitting data.
• The WLAN/WPS LED stays green when the wireless LAN is ready.
It blinks when the P-870HN-5xb is sending/receiving data through
the wireless LAN.
#If none of the LEDs are on, check your connections. Make sure that you have
the power adaptor connected to the P-870HN-5xb and plugged into an
appropriate power source. Make sure the power source is turned on. Turn the
P-870HN-5xb off, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on. If the LEDs are
still off, contact your local vendor.

enter http://192.168.1.1 (the
P-870HN-5xb's default IP
address) as the address.
2. Enter the admin user name
admin and password 1234
(default). Click OK.
#If the login screen does not display, make sure you allow web browser pop-up
windows, JavaScripts and Java permissions. Your computer should also be
set to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. See the
appendices in your User's Guide for more information.
Internet Setup
Go to Network > WAN > Internet Connection. Enter the Internet
access information exactly as given to you by your ISP in the Internet
Connection screens. See your User’s Guide for detailed information.
When your ADSL Internet connection is setup, the DSL LED should be
green. When your VDSL Internet connection is setup, the DSL LED
should be orange. The INTERNET LED lights green when either one of
the Internet connection is correct.

#If you cannot access the Internet and the INTERNET LED is off, make sure
you enter the correct information in the WAN screens.
If you are using a new Internet account, contact your ISP to make sure it is
active.
If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless and
security settings in your wireless client are the same as the settings in the P-
870HN-5xb.
Wireless Setup
To create a wireless network, the P-870HN-5xb and your wireless
computer(s) must all use the same SSID (network name), channel and
security settings.
1. Go to Network > Wireless LAN.
2. Enable wireless LAN, enter a name to identify your wireless network
(such as “My-SSID“) in the SSID field, and select a channel which is
not used by neighboring wireless devices.
3. Select your security mode and configure wireless security settings. In
this example, the P-870HN-5xb uses WPA2-PSK for data encryption.
If you do not set wireless security, anyone within range could use your P-870HN-
5xb to access your network and the Internet.
