Question about the Wi-Fi led on TD-W8970
Region : Turkey
Model : TD-W8970
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hello,
I've bought this TD-W8970 Wireless ADSL2+ modem / router yesterday, this is my first TP-Link product. I've configured it properly (LAN / WAN & Wi-Fi) and secured the Wi-Fi with a WPA2 (Personal) AES key. So far everything works correctly, every device wirelessly connected to it (laptop, phones, tablets) also connects to the internet without any problem.
However the Wi-Fi led on the front of the modem starts blinking from the moment I turn it on and keeps blinking (at the same frequency) and never stops, even when no device is connected to the modem wirelessly (which I have verified multiple times both physically and through the web interface).
So I've been wondering... is that the way this modem works? I used a Linksys modem / router for years and the Wi-Fi led would only blink during an activity (ie: data being transferred to a device), otherwise it would remain static.
