Firmware Upgrade LED blinking amber
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 upd...
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
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?

Thank you, microchip8!
I think I get it now. If the progress bar does not display correctly and the LED doesn't turn white, then one must wait a reasonable time (10 minutes?) before doing a reset.Richard
