No blue light ever on the main unit as far as I can tell. I'll re-try setting it up tomorrow...the wife get very antsy when the WiFi goes down.
According to the manual, blue lights appear on the satellites when they've connected.
For the RBR there is now BLUE front LED. RBR only supports Blinking WHITE, AMBER and PINK. OFF means normal good connection with the ISP modem or ONT and isp services.
