LED Panel Control Explained - Vigor Routers

The LEDs (lights) on the DrayTek Vigor routers can give a very quick indication of the current state of the router. This article depicts what each LED means and what actions from the users are needed. There are two sections: Business Routers and SOHO Routers.

{tab DrayTek Business Routers}

The DrayTek Business Routers are characterized by the front LED panel that groups 9 LEDs together. The routers that are part of this group include the Vigor 2865, 2866, Vigor 2927 series. Below, there is Vigor 2865ax in normal operational mode (its ACT light is blinking).

Here is the list of all the LEDs available on different business routers. Your router may or may not have some of them (e.g. non-wireless routers won't have 2.4G/5G LEDs but may have USB1 and USB2 instead).

LED	Status	Description	Action Required
ACT	Blinking	Powered on and in normal operational mode	NA
	Off	The router is powered off	check the PSU/power switch
WAN2	On	Internet connection is ready	NA
	Off	Internet connection is not ready	check the Ethernet cable
	Blinking	The data is transmitting	NA
QoS	On	The QoS function is active	NA
	Off	The QoS function is inactive	NA
USB	On	The USB device is connected and ready to use	NA
	Off	No USB device is connected	plug in the compatible USB device
	Blinking	The data is transmitting	NA
DSL	On	DSL link has synchronized	NA
	Blinking	Slowly: detecting DSL line	NA
		Quickly: the DSL connection is establishing	NA
LTE	On	The LTE device is connected and ready to use	NA
	Off	No LTE device detected	no SIM card detected, SIM PIN error, SIM deactivated etc.
	Blinking	Slowly: LTE device in dialling up mode	NA
		Quickly: The data is transmitting	NA
WCF	On	The Web Content Filtering is active	NA
	Off	WCF is disabled	enable from [Firewall] > [General Setup]
2.4G / 5G	On	2.4G/5G: Wireless access point with bandwidth of 2.4GHz/5GHz is ready WLAN: Wireless access point is ready	NA
	Off	Wireless function is disabled	press the Wi-Fi button to enable
	Blinking	It will blink slowly while wireless traffic goes through. ACT and WLAN LEDs blink quickly and simultaneously when WPS is working, and will return to normal condition after two minutes. (You need to set up WPS within 2 minutes.)	NA
DMZ	On	The DMZ function is enabled	NA
	Off	The DMZ function is disabled	NA
	Blinking	The data is transmitting	NA

{tab DrayTek SOHO Routers}

SOHO Routers are designed to deliver simplicity. Although there are many advanced features available on board, the LEDs illustrate some basic status of the router's interfaces.

 

The table below lists all the possible options for routers, including the Vigor 2762, 2765, and 2766 series.

LED	Status	Description	Action Required
Activity	Blinking	Powered on and in normal operational mode	NA
	Off	The router is powered off	check the PSU/power switch
DSL	On	DSL link has synchronized	NA
	Blinking	Slowly: detecting DSL line	NA
		Quickly: the DSL connection is establishing	NA
Wireless LAN (On/Off/WPS)	On (Green)	2.4GHz radio band is active	NA
	Blinking (Green)	Data is being transmitted on the router’s 2.4GHz wireless interface	NA
	Blinking (Orange)	WPS pairing mode is active for two minutes	there are 2 minutes to pair a WPS device
	Off	2.4GHz band is turned off	press the Wi-Fi button to enable
Wireless LAN (On/Off/WPS)	On (Green)	5GHz radio band is active	NA
	Blinking (Green)	Data is being transmitted on the router’s 5GHz wireless interface	NA
	Blinking (Orange)	WPS in pairing mode	there are 2 minutes to pair a WPS device
	Off	5GHz band is turned off	press the Wi-Fi button to enable
LAN (1/2/3/4)	On	Ethernet LAN (RJ45) is connected	NA
	Blinking	Data is transmitting	NA
	Off	Ethernet LAN is disconnected	check the Ethernet cable
USB	On	The USB device is connected and ready to use	NA
	Blinking	The data is transmitting	NA
	Off	No USB device is connected	plug in the compatible USB device
