It is slowly rebooting itself and running through various checks before it establishes a connection with whatever modem sits in front of it.
Remember, when playing around with a mix of devices you need to reboot the network in the right order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
