Firmware 1.0.4.28 instructions Important Note reads as shown below. Note 1 says to power cycle the router with a blinking amber LED. Note 2 says the LED should be blinking amber during firmware update. It also says to NOT power off the device during upgrade.I must be missing something here. These two notes seem to contradict each other. Important Note: The update process is completed when the on-screen progress bar completes. If power LED light turns amber and is blinking, power cycle the router to complete the upgrade. If the update progress bar on the web interface does not display correctly during firmware update, you can still check the status using the Power LED.The Power LED should be blinking (amber) during firmware update. After the firmware update is done and the system boots up, the LED changes to a steady amber color.DO NOT power off or reboot the device during firmware upgrade, it may corrupt the firmware and cause the device not to work.

The power LED blinks during update. After the update is finished, the router restarts by itself. After this is done and everything is up and running, the power LED should be solid white or blinking white. If this is not the case, you *may* need a reset

try a reset by pushing in the reset hole at the back with a pin until the power LED flashes

  Thanks, microchip8. I wasn't very clear. I am not yet doing an update of the fw. Before I do an update I needed clarification of the Important Note.
  
  Note 1 says to power cycle on blinking amber.
  
  Note 2 says blinking amber means fw update is in progress and to not interrupt it.
  
  These two notes seem to be opposed to each other. Could someone please clarify?
