RAXE300 and RAXE500 internet lights
I’m looking to purchase a RAXE300 or RAXE500, I’m wanting to Know if the internet light flashes when there is traffic flowing. Also does the WiFi and Ethernet lights flash the same way? I have the RA...
Hi thanks for your reply
Very helpful that the router works well. Could you tell me if the internet light flashed before, and does it still flash with the recent firmware
Thanks again

Internet LED doesn't blink.
No idea why different models have differences. Most of the time I guess, not really needed, As long as the color is WHITE and your seeing GOOD status on the routers web page, seems to be enough. I know some people are visual. I am but, also, I'm not looking at the router all the time so, as long as it's working, I'm good. 😉

We are talking about the RAXE300?
Did it ever flash on previous firmwares?
Thanks againRAXE500. RAXE300 should same as it should same code base.
I could have. I've only had my RAXE500 for about 2 years.
Something you could do, install a small non managed Gb switch in between the host ISP service device and the RAX router. Don't connect anything else do this switch accept the ISP modem and the RAXE router. Then you'd have some LED indication. Could install a semi managed or managed switch here and let the switch help log any oddities or network traffic issues if you really wanna dive in.

Im hoping someone with the RAXE300 will reply but your idea is very good, i may try that with one of my old routers and see how that works
Thanks again
