Asus RT-AX3000 user manual

The ASUS RT-AX3000 router has a number of different LED lights that indicate different statuses. Here's a breakdown of what each light means:
1. Power LED: This light indicates whether the router is powered on or not. It should be solid green when the router is turned on.
2. WAN LED: This light indicates the connection status of your internet service. It should be solid green if the connection is established and blinking green if there's activity.
3. Wi-Fi LEDs: There are two Wi-Fi LEDs, one for the 2.4GHz band and one for the 5GHz band. If these lights are solid white, it means the wireless network is enabled. If they're off, the wireless network is disabled.
4. LAN LEDs: There are four LAN LEDs, one for each LAN port on the router. If a LAN LED is solid green, it means that a device is connected to that specific LAN port and there's activity. If it's off, there's no device connected to that port.
5. USB LED: If you have a USB device connected to the router, the USB LED will light up to indicate its status. It should be solid blue if the device is connected and blinking blue if there's activity.
6. WPS LED: This light indicates the status of the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature. When you press the WPS button, the LED will blink for a short time, indicating that the router is ready for a WPS connection.
These are the basic meanings of the lights on the ASUS RT-AX3000 router. However, it's worth noting that the exact behavior of the lights may vary slightly depending on the firmware version and specific settings on your router.
