What actually happens? What "keeps blinking"? (Blinking often means that something is working and sending traffic.)
Do the Wifi LEDs on the R6220 come on? Tried pressing the wifi on/off button on the back?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
You might also like to look for help in the correct section for your router:
