WRTU54G-TM internet light constantly blinking

I just got this modem used from eBay to set up a wireless system at my parent's house. Whenever I plug in the ethernet cable from the cable modem (Brighthouse) directly to the router it whines about not being able to find an internet connection. I've restored it to factory defaults, but no matter what I change the internet contstantly blinks quickly. The "link" light on the cable modem constantly blinks as well, but it has no effect on the internet connection when skipping the router.
Thoughts? I'm at a total loss.
Solved!

Solved my own problem by finding it on the forums. I needed to change some config settings on the router that I'm no accustomed to doing.
For anyone's info, it was found in the second post ofthe topic below

BEFW11S4 - Internet light keeps blinking

I recently had to format my PC due to a hard drive issue. I Have Comcast internet service (CABLE INTERNET) and my router hooked up to my workstation,. I first unplugged my router before the format. Reformatted my PC and plugged my router back in. When I plugged it back in I saw a static bolt come from the plug head but it still powered on fine. The "Wireless" part works fine. My laptop can see the router BUT my internet lite keeps blinking when I tried to use the router from my wired PC. I checked all the setup but IM not sure what’s going on? Everything seems set up fine. The "internet" light is blinking erratically and I don’t remember it ever doing that. Is my router shot? PLEASE HELP! Ryan

well if the internet light is blinking that means modem and router is communicating with each other... if internet is not working through the router try following steps...connect modem >> router >> hardwired pc, reset the router by pressing reset button on router about 30 seconds, release the reset button and power cycle the n/w, power down the router and modem, wait for couple of minutes and power up the modem first once modem is rebooted, power up the router check whether it works or not, if it still doesn't work logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1, it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as password without any username, click on MAC address clone, enable it and click "clone" save the settings, power cycle the n/w... check whether it works for you, if you have any problem let me know.

LED Notification Light Constantly Blinks

My D2Global is falling apart. First the home key went on the fritz as well as part of the touchscreen. Now out of nowhere the notification light is constantly blinking when the phone is on lock. I powered off, powered on - still blinking. I turned off and pulled out the battery, turn it back on - still blinking.
I don't have any new apps installed. No messages or notifications to check. I don't know what's going on.This has never happened before. It's only just year and 2 weeks old.

Hello amourti85,
I hate that you are experiencing these problems with your Motorola Droid 2 Global device. I would like to assist.
First, a few questions to help determine the root cause of the problems. Did you notice the issues after downloading any specific applications? If so, I suggest removing the applications and testing the Home key again. Also, in regards to the unknown LED notification, check your call history / Recent calls to see if this will eliminate the LED blinking.
Please let me know the results of your testing.
Thanks,

WRV54g -Yellow/Orange internet light is blinking

Hello,
I have a WRV54g router. Recently i have lost internet connetion. My router now has an orange/yellow solid light next to internet. I am still able to connect to my local network, but i am unable to connect to the internet. I am on the internet currently through my modem alone.
-orange/yellow internet light
-local network connectivity
-can't connect to internet
-Modem still gets me to internet
Anyone have any ideas? (this has happened before on the same type of router, phoned tech support, they fed me automated responses, finally they gave me this router.)

Thank you for your suggestions, and for posting in such a timely manor.
The problem has been fixed.
I left the mess alone and decided to start again this morning.
-I upgraded the firmware to 2.39.2 (successfully)
-I reset router to default
The internet light was still orange
I powered down the modem while i was re-seating Ethernet cables (that was the fifth time "resetting" the modem). when i powered the modem back up the router was green across the board. I guess fifth time's the charm for me
Thanks again for your suggestions

Orange light constantly blinking; computer no longer recognizes shuffle

I just purchased an IPod Shuffle, connected it to my MAC, downloaded podcasts and was waiting for it to fully charge. It charged, but I left the Shuffle in the docking station. Now, it has been blinking orange for 24 hours and the device no longer appears in my I Tunes account or on the computer. All the instructions say not to disconnect when it is blinking. I have restarted the computer and did a cold boot. Nothing. Any suggestions. I would like to try the thing out.

Just disconnect and reconnect. If that dosn't work, disconnect, reboot, reconnect.
Or jusr disconnect, play music and then reconnect after a reboot...

WRT1900ac internet connectivity problem, internet light blinking white!!!!?

So my wrt1900ac has been blinking white starting tonight. I logged into the router and did a router reboot. That didnt work, then I rebooted my modem still didnt work.
After all that I did a factory reset to my wrt1900ac which was a big mistake cause now my wrt1900ac WILL NOT set back up. It keeps getting stuck on detecting internet.
So I did a factory reset on my modem which is c1000a, and after the factory reset my modem works fine connects to wifi no problem what so ever. I put my modem back into transparent bridge mode, and tried to re-setup my router. Once again the wrt1900ac internet light just blinks white and will not connect even though my modem works perfectly fine can someone help me out please??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Disconnect the router from the modem and login via IP Address 192.168.1.1. If you can't check the gateway address of the IP address your router gives your device. The default gateway is the router ip address. It can change if the router detects an IP address conflict.

Internet Light Blinking on WRT54G Ver. 6

We are changing from Earthlink DSL to Comcast cable internet. Purchased and installed a Linksys CM100 cable modem. Initially connected the CM100 directly to a laptop and got connectivity to the internet. Added the WRT54G Ver. 6 router between the modem and laptop, changed the router's "internet connection type" to "automatic configuration - DHCP", cloned the MAC address (both per Linksys Answer ID 3686 at http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/prnt_adp.php?p_faqid=3686&p_created=1151...= then power cycled the modem and router. We now have internet connectivity through the CM100 / WRT54G combination but the "internet'" led on the front of the WRT54G blinks rapidly rather than being on steadily. Is this normal behavior or is it indicating connection problems? Thanks for any insight.

Its normal...Internet light blinking means data transfer(send and receive) .

Internet working but yellow light is blinking

The internet is working but the Airport is blinking yellow.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and a message will appear to tell you why the amber light is blinking
If things seem to be OK otherwise, it might be something as simple as a notice that you have an update available for your AirPort.

Status light is blinking

How do I fix my AirPort Extreme? The status light is blinking and I no longer have Internet access.

A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.

If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation. Please post back your results.

My 1st gen apple tv displays a black screen,led status light is blinking orange constant. I have tried all the owners manuel tips but it appears to have locked up. Any advise?

my apple tv 1st generation appears to have locked up. it constantly now displays only a black screen.No function reset etc from remote use.The led status is constantly blinking orange. I have tried all the manual tips etc but still blank. Any ideas anyone?
Gary.

Same/similar thing just happened to me....two days ago or so. Ran fine for months since going from wifi (major problems) to ethernet now.
I hadn't been on atv 1 for a few days and had it powered down. Turned it on and it ran thru the startup video/sequence then did the ole sit on a black screen where you can hear the remote responses (say, if i hit left on the remote - the 'option not available' doink noise is made instead of the usual sound you'd get if you were moving to the left on the menu.....not sure if that description makes sense?
The 'exit' or moving out of a menu 'noise' does sound, as does the enter/moving into a menu noise.
This has happened in the past, but more when i had it set up via wi fi.
Thing is this time i left it sit on the black screen while reading the paper, and after about 5 minutes, the menu screen finally showed up. Everything was really sluggish to start - but it was there. But, then, i reset it to see if the sluggishness would go away, and back to the black screen after the startup video.....and then 5 minutes later, it came up.
Not sure what is going on...but did have the blinking orange light for a while during the issue.
Don't think its an age thing as it did this even when i first purchased it....
Once into a video or music it runs fine (though i did notice that every once in a while with the music playing from my itunes, it would have a second of silence mid song like it paused for a second, and then would resume as if nothing happened.....
Any ideas whats shaking with this? Does this sound similar to your issue or am i in a different ball park.

Amber Light Keeps Blinking

Amber light keeps blinking. I have been unable to set up wireless and never get a green light. Connection to internet works via cable to the Airport base station. I have done numerous resets and with power on off cycle per instructions on page 29. This is a brand new unit, arrived today, so it has never been working. I have hit the reset button both with power on and while powering up. Did a firmware update too. Still no luck. Is this a defective unit since it will not reset? I have also done complete resets with the DSL modem cycled off and back on, Base station off and brought back to power, and MacBook Pro cycled on and off too.
Should I call the vendor and ask for a replacement?

DV5 constantly blinking after replacing the motherboard

Hi all,
Just a quick background on the situation: I had to replace the screen on my DV5 due to an unfortunate accident.
So I had my friend replace the screen. As soon as he got it all hooked up again, the computer powered on, but soon quickly stopped. It then started blinking the trouble code. After calling HP, he determined it was the motherboard, it was fried. So I ordered a new motherboard and had him install it. After it was installed, it wouldn't start at all.
So I had another person (this time an ex-IBM employee) try and fix it for me. He disassembled everything, and couldn't get it to power-up. All of the connections are set-up correctly, but it just wont power up. It's evident that the computer is receiving power though, as the trouble light is now constantly blinking, and blinked easily over 30 times. The light blinking is white.
Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

Hi,
The reading sounds about right. Have you tried removing the battery and starting the notebook with just the AC Adapter plugged in?
Regards,
DP-K

Problem with WRT54G. All lights are Blinking

I do not know very much about technology and my router stopped working correctly. Now, the lights of Power, Internet, and the ones of the numbers 1 and 3 are blinking and the wireless connection does not work. Can anyone explain me what to do to solve this? I will be very grateful. Javier

hi... power cycle the n/w by unplugging power cable of modem and router, by unplugging power cable of modem and router...wait for couple of minutes, power up the modem first and once modem is rebooted power up the router, check whether lights stopped blinking or not, if lights are still blinking in that case you may need to reset the router back to factory default settings by pressing reset button on the back panel of the router but before you can reset the router let me know which internet connection are you using...so that i can tell you step by step configuration of the router...
