LB2120 flashing green power light

Hi all,

 

I have just bought a LB2120. When the 'wireline' is disconnected, the power light flashes green, which is not documented in the user manual. What does this mean? It is connecting to the internet via 4G successfully, and says it is running the latest firmware

    So its flashing and your not seeing any issues with the unit?

      Yes.

       

      By observation, the flashing green is the modem showing that it has fallen over to 4G, with steady green showing that the 'wireline' is working and thus the modem has not fallen over to 4G.

       

      Perhaps not a fault with the modem itself, more a significant ommission from the documentation. Perhaps a feature introduced with a 'recent' firmware update, and Netgear haven't bothered to update the documentation?

        A blinking Green power LED means that the LTE modem is accessing Internet from cellular side instead of wired WAN side (failed over to wireless Internet).
