Broadband, WAN Ethernet, and Wi-Fi indicators will be off.
Broadband indicator will initially be solid RED, and once the NVG558 obtains an IP Address will change to solid BLUE.
Wireless indicator will light solid GREEN to indicate that the Wireless service is enabled.

NOTE: During the initial setup, it may take several minutes to achieve service connectivity.
Broadband: Follow instructions provided by Verizon. If no instructions are provided, then call Verizon.
