    Do you mean the status LED?

     

    Are you seeing the client WiFi network?  Normally a blinking status LED means the device has been reset, so the client network might be named NETGEAR_EXT.

        I suspect the firmware needs to be re-flashed.  You might try sending DexterJB a private message (click on the envelope in the upper right of the forum pages), and ask if he can give you the procedure for that.
