Product Overview

Front

Front panel

Power indicator (1)—The power light is solid blue while the router is powered on. It will blink when

the router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during start up.

Internet Indicator (2)—The INTERNET light is solid blue when connected to the internet. It blinks

while the router works to establish a connection. A solid orange light means the connection is

down due to configuration issues. Blinking orange means the connection is down due to hardware

issues.

4

2.4 GHz Indicator (3)—The light is solid blue when one or more clients are connected to the 2.4

GHz network. The light blinks when the router is sending or receiving data over the 2.4 GHz

network.

5 GHz Indicator (4)—The light is solid blue when one or more clients are connected to the 5GHz

network. The light blinks when the router is sending or receiving data over the 5 GHz network.

eSATA Indicator (5)—If the light is off, the USB/eSATA port is off or a USB device is connected.

The light is solid blue when an eSATA device is connected. The light blinks to indicate activity

through the eSATA port.

USB1 Indicator (6)—If the light is off, the USB /eSATA port is off or an eSATA device is

connected. The light is solid blue when a USB device is connected. The light blinks to indicate

activity on the port.

USB2 Indicator (7)—The light is solid blue when a USB device is connected. The light blinks to

indicate activity on the port.

ETHERNET 1 through 4 (Primary) (8)—These numbered lights correspond with the numbered

ports on the router’s back panel. If the light is solid blue, the router is connected to a device

through that port. The light blinks to indicate network activity over that port.

ETHERNET 1 through 4 (Secondary) (9)—If the light is off, the router is connected to a device

through that port at 10/100 Mbps. A solid blue light means the router is connected to a device at

1000 Mbps.

WPS Indicator (10)—The light blinks slowly for up to two minutes during Wi-Fi Protected Setup. It

will be solid blue for five seconds to indicate a successful connection. The light blinks orange if the

WPS process fails. If that happens, make sure the client device supports WPS. Wait until the light

is off, and try again. The router supports one WPS session at a time.

Device Prioritization

Move devices among priority levels to get the best performance for streaming and online gaming.

Automatically prioritize Killer-enabled devices to reduce latency and lag. The higher the priority,

the better the access to your internet connection. Low-priority devices share the leftover

capacity. For more about Killer, visit http://www.killernetworking .com.

Speed Test

Measure the download (from the internet) and upload (to the internet) speeds of your router.

Speeds vary depending on many factors, including how many devices are connected to your

router, and what those devices are doing. Speed test is a good way to find out whether you are

getting the level of service promised by your internet service provider.

Troubleshooting

Find more help from our award-winning customer support at linksys.com/support/WRT32X.

Setup was unsuccessful

If you were not successful with the browser-based setup wizard:

•

Press and hold the Reset button on your router with a paperclip or pin for 10 seconds.

Restart the setup wizard.

•

Temporarily disable your computer’s firewall (see the security software’s instructions for

help). Install the router again.

•

If you have another computer, use that computer to install the router again.

17

‘‘Your Internet cable is not plugged in’’ message

•

Make sure that an ethernet cable (like the one included with your router) is securely

connected to the yellow INTERNET port on the back of the router and to the appropriate

port on your modem or modem router. See Step 4 (p. 8

) in setup instructions.

•

Make sure that your modem is connected to power and is turned on. If it has a power switch,

make sure that it is set to the ON or l (as opposed to O) position.

•

If your Internet service is cable, verify that the cable modem’s CABLE port is connected to

the coaxial cable provided by your ISP.

18

•

If your Internet service is DSL, make sure the DSL line is connected to the modem’s DSL

port.

•

If your computer was previously connected to your modem with a USB cable, disconnect

the USB cable.

•

Install the router again.

‘‘Cannot access your router’’ message

To access your router’s administrative tool, you must be connected to your router’s network. If

you currently have wireless internet access, the problem may be that you have accidentally

connected to a different wireless network.

To fix the problem on Windows computers*:

1.

Click on the wireless icon in the system tray to see a list of available Wi-Fi networks.

2.

Click your own network name. Click Connect. In the example below, the computer was

connected to another wireless network named wraith_5GHz. The wireless network name

of the Linksys WRT32X router, Damaged_Beez2.4 in this example, is shown selected.

3.

If you are prompted to enter a network key, type your password (Security Key) into the

Network key and Confirm network key fields. Click Connect.

4.

When your computer connects to the network you should be able to access the router’s

administrative tool. Enter http://myrouter.local

in a browser.

*Depending on your version of Windows, there could be some differences in wording or icons in

these steps.

19

To fix the problem on Mac computers:

1.

In the menu bar across the top of the screen, click the Wi-Fi icon. A list of wireless networks

will appear. Linksys Smart Wi-Fi has automatically assigned your network a name.

2.

In the example below, the computer was connected to another wireless network named

wraith_5GHz. The wireless network name of the Linksys WRT32X router,

Damaged_Beez2.4 in this example, is shown selected.

3.

Click the wireless network name of your Linksys WRT32X router (Damaged_Beez2.4 in the

example).

4.

Type your wireless network password (Security Key) into the Password field. Click OK.

After setup

The internet appears to be unavailable

If your router is not communicating with the internet, the problem may appear as a “Cannot find

[Internet address]” message in your web browser. If you know that the internet address is correct,

and if you’ve tried several valid internet addresses with the same result, there could be a problem

with your ISP or your modem or modem router.

Some potential fixes:

•

Make sure that the ethernet and power cables are securely connected.

•

Make sure the power outlet that your router is connected to has power.

•

Contact your ISP and ask about outages in your area.

The most common method of troubleshooting your router is to restart it by turning it off, then

back on again. Your router can then reload its custom settings, and other devices (such as the

modem) will be able to rediscover the router and communicate with it.

To restart your router using the power cord:

1.

Disconnect the power cord from the router and the modem or modem router.

2.

Wait 10 seconds, and reconnect the power cord to the modem or modem router. Make sure

it has power.

20

3.

Wait until the online light on your modem or modem router has stopped blinking (about two

minutes). Reconnect the power cord to the router.

4.

Wait until the power light stops blinking. Wait two minutes before trying to connect to the

internet from a computer.

To restart your router using the router’s browser-based administrative tool:

1.

Log in to your WRT32X. (See Step 6 on p. 9

in setup instructions.)

2.

Click Router Administration in the navigation bar on the left side of the screen.

3.

Click Restart router.

4.

The router will restart. All connected devices will temporarily lose their internet connection.

They will automatically reconnect when the router is ready again.
