The HG8245Q2 modem features 11 LED indicators, explained as follows:

PON LED

Indicates the fiber optic connection between the modem and the network. When the fiber cable is connected, the LED blinks green. Once the modem connects to the internet, the LED remains solid green. A red LED indicates a connection problem.

LOS LED

Indicates the fiber optic link to the central network. A red or blinking LED typically signals a fault in the fiber connection, such as a loose or disconnected cable, a dirty fiber connector, or a disruption with the central network. Normally, this LED should remain off.

When using an Ethernet cable, a green Power LED, off LOS LED, green PON LED, and blinking LAN LED indicate that all connections are correctly established and the modem is ready for Rightel high-speed fiber optic internet.
