Lurker here, decided to sign up and see if someone might have some feedback on the issue I'm having with my new Linksys E4200 that I just got yesterday. When I was first hooking it up, I noticed the following message in the instruction manual:
Indicator light—Stays on steadily while power is connected and
following a successful Wi-Fi Protected Setup connection. Pulses slowly
during bootup, during firmware upgrades, and during a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup connection. Flashes quickly when there is a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
error.
Based on this, I assumed that if the router is functioning properly that the big CISCO symbol on the front will stay solid unless there is a problem. However, I have noticed that every so often it will start slowly pulsing and then start flashing quickly. The light will then go back to solid. Rinse and repeat. As far as I can tell everything is functioning properly. I've got at least 8 devices on the network via both ethernet and wireless. They all are functioning properly even while the light is flashing. I am just curious if this is normal or if I have a problem that I'm not aware of. Any help would be great. I shot a short video of the flashing so that you could see what I'm talking about. It takes about 3 minutes from the start of flashing to going back solid...
