    Power on meaning no power? Or power on meaning not connecting to router?

    If no power, have you tried another outlet? If so did you purchase new?

      Yes we have actually purchased 2 units both new.  Now that the 2nd one is having same issue, (light is not turning on or blinking) I think that it is user error!  We did change the outlet/power source and put the satellite closer to the other base unit and the light/unit is still not turning on.

      Thank you

        If you have no power light or top lights after pushing the power button on the back of the unit, and you have it plugged into a good power outlet, then they have to be defective.
