Verifying the Power Connection to the D-Link Router

Verify you have power at the source. You can do this by plugging another device in the outlet, Like a hair Dryer, a Desk lamp or any other small household appliance. You won’t believe how many people call support when the socket they are tring to use has an on switch on the other side of the room.

Note would be a good idea to use a power source that is not connected to a switch at the door next to the room’s Lamp switch!

Verify that the Power LED is lit solid green. If it is not:

D-Linker router front panel with power light lit.

Confirm that the power adaptor is connected to the receptor on the back panel of the router.
Verify that the other end of the power adapter is connected into a wall outlet or power strip.
If the Power light is now illuminated but you still can’t access the Internet, return to the D-Link wired hardware troubleshooting checklist.
If the Power light is not illuminated after you’ve double checked the connections, please contact the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center (888) 553-1555
