Netgear has an array of range extenders, routers, and modems to meet the internet connectivity needs of the users. In fact, they have become extremely popular for the range extenders, and EX7500 is one of them. It has been integrated with the tri-band configuration, sleek style, and exceptional internet throughput. In addition, just like other range extenders, it has also been designed with various LED indicators that help gain information about the network performance and extender’s functions. So, let’s check out Netgear EX7500 lights meaning!
NETGEAR EX7500 Lights Meaning:
1. Link LED
As the name suggests, the link LED shows the extender’s connection to your router and shows if the link between your extender and the router is fine. If the link LED is blinking blue, it means that the extender is resetting to its factory settings. If the light is off, it simply means that there is no connection. There are also colors like amber, which mean good connection, and solid red colors mean poor connection. If the link LED turns solid blue, it means that you have an excellent connection with the router.
2. Power LED
There is also a power LED that shows the power status. It doesn’t have many colors only turns on in blue color. If the power LED is blinking blue, it means that your extender is booting up. If it is solid blue, it means that your extender is powered on and working properly. On the other hand, if the power LED is off, the extender is off, and you need to connect it to a working power outlet to turn it on.
3. WPS LED
There is also a WPS LED that indicates the WPS status. If the WPS LED is off, it means that your extender is not connected or is trying to connect through WPS, and WPS connectivity is off. Once you press the WPS button, it should start blinking blue, which means the extender is looking for a router or WPS-enabled device to connect to. If it turns solid blue, it means that your extender is connected to some device over a WPS connection.
4. 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs
There are separate LEDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity. These LEDs make it simpler for you to choose the band and make sure that you are connected to the band according to the internet needs. If these LEDs are solid blue, it indicates that you have the best connection with client devices over this particular band. If they are solid amber, it promises a stable connection, and solid red signifies a poor connection.
If any of these LEDs are turned off, it means that there is no connection with the band. Lastly, if the lights are blinking blue, it means that the extender is being reset to factory default settings. You need to wait for them to stop blinking before you press any button or turn off the power (it ensures proper booting).
The bottom line is that these LEDs and their color show the network performance. In case there are some connectivity errors, it’s recommended that you reach out to Netgear’s technical team.
