WRV200 Wireless light keeps blinking, no clients connected.

Hi,
Sorry if this is a silly question, but im wondering why my linksys wrv200 wireless light on the router keeps blinking even though my wireless laptop is not turned on?  I checked the router status and no other clients are connected so im puzzled as to why the wireless activity light is blinking which shows activity as per the manual.
Is this normal??  
Thanks

The DHCP client table only contains the computers which requested an IP address from your router. Any device/computer with a static IP address will never appear in that list. You cannot tell if a wireless client with a static IP address is still connected or not.
Wireless clients may (more likely) appear in the wireless client list. I don't know if the WRV200 has it or not. Usually you'll find the wireless client list by going to the wireless MAC filter setup tab. Enable the filter if it is not enabled (no need to save the setting), press edit filter list, and it pops up a window where you have another button "wireless client mac list". That button shows you a window of active and inactive wireless clients with their IP address. Any static IP address client should appear there, too. (If the list is not there, search the manual for it...)
You could make another test: change the SSID temporarily on the router to something else. A longer random string. Setup WPA2 with a random preshared key. Save the settings. Disconnect all computers from the router. Still blinking? Unplug the modem connection from the router. Still blinking? If the router is still blinking with nothing wired to it and a wireless network that nobody knows (yet), well, that should clearly indicate a router problem (or at least a wireless light problem). If that is the case it should not be too hard to bring the router back to the shop and show them what is happening.Message Edited by gv on 12-18-200605:43 PM

  • HP Laserjet p1102w blue WIRELESS light keeps blinking and computer is not able to locate the printer

    Have been using the printer on wireless and it was working fine until I had to cancel a print and might have accidentally press wireless button and "X" cancel button together and havn't been able to print since.
    Did everything: 
    - update firmware: LJP1100_P1560_P1600_FW_Update.dmg
    - update printing software: HP-ePrint_v2.4.1.dmg
    - Reinstall wireless setting
    But the printer will now shot from Add new printer- Bonjour setting.
    The odd thing is When I switch the wifi on computer on and off the printer will show in Add new printer- Bonjour setting, for a second and disappear again. 
    The printer still works via cable. 
    There were 3 machine using the printer via wireless now has all same issue. 
    Thank you for any help or tip! 

    Hello eeoorhee,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with connecting the printer over the wireless connection.
    I have a few steps that we can take to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I also suggest that you do an uinstall of the software and drivers and reinstall.  Please click on the link that I have added for when The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Installation.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thank you for your time.

  • HT1551 after finish installing an update, the the status light keeps blinking and a picture of the connection between the micro USB and iTunes shows up - what is this about?

    after finish installing an update, the the status light keeps blinking and a picture of the connection between the micro USB and iTunes shows up - what is this about?

    The update failed - using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:

    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

  • 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?
    Popadave

    Hello popadave. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    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 what you find.

    OK, great, thanks.  Different printers have different instructions.
    On the front of the printer go to Setup > Network > Disable Wireless (or similar words).  The blue light will go off.

  • Laptop won't start quickly but power wifi and caps lock light keeps blinking

    Hi, it has happened before too but rarely but nowadays it happens on daily purposes.
    When I switch on my laptop after leaving it for 8-9 hrs, it won't start up but instead power, wifi and caps lock light keep blinking. I tried removing battery and pressing power button for few minutes but nothing happens. Then i left it like that with lights blinking and after 15 20 minutes it booted. I did same yesterday too. I left it like that it booted after 20 minutes..so My question is "why is this happening? Is it a motherboard issue or is it because of cold moisturous weather here and laptop takes time to get warm up?" Should I show it to HP Service center?

    Hi @Nishant5788
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot up normally. As for what is causing the problem the blinking Caps Lock should tell us what is causing the problem as it should be blinking in a pattern. This HP document Computer Does Not Start and LEDs blink has a chart that will tell you what the blink codes mean.
    This is most likely a hardware issue and you can give us a call regarding repair options.  You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • 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.

  • Light keeps flashing and cannot connect to ipad

    The front light keeps flashing and there is no connection to my ipad - advice seems to be to restore but do I restore on the ipad - general settings and restore

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source List
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Light keeps blinking

    I have had my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen pluged in for approx 6hrs and it is not charging. Keeps blinking orange. Do I need to regester it. Actually I have 3 that have the same problem. santa Claus brought them for boys all three of the same and all have the same problem

    Actually the blinking light does mean that it is
    still charging. Read the "Quick Start" guide again.
    I'm having the same problem and even after "Safely"
    disconnecting it my iPod won't work because it is not
    charged.
    Ummm... since you are aware that it's charging WHILE even while the orange LED is blinking, are you allowing it to do so for 4-6 hours, or more? The 4 hour charge time Apple quotes is a rather optimistic estimate... To actually check battery charge status you must remove it from the dock AND cycle the ON/OFF switch; the status LED will show green, orange, red, or nothing to indicate charge level.
    I can't believe so many people are having the same
    problem. I find it hard to believe this many people
    have the same problem and Apple doesn't post a
    solution for it. Is their product just that crappy???
    I won't go there...
