The only positive outcome of my having the misfortune of dealing with you yesterday and today regarding my router problems is that I am now assured that someone, you, must be having a worse time with life right now than I am. I have never corresponded with someone that presents themselves as wanting to help others that have less knowledge in a given area who was more arrogant, self-gratifying and pompous than yourself. If I knew how to properly articulate my problems to your satisfaction then I probably would not need you which on retrospect would have been preferable. If you are part of a "community" I was in, I would move. While you might know a great deal about routers, networking and the like, you are woefully lacking in any type of people skills. I wish you the best and can only imagine how you must justify everything that happens to you as being caused by the shortcomings of others. Have a nice life. :)

Does your (unspecified) "my modem" have a maker and model number?
General advice: When dealing with a router, "route" is a technical
term, not synonymous with "connect".

Which LEDs are the "appropriate" ones? Color? Activity?

First, you don't need an Internet connection to talk to your own
router. Second, what happened to "it works 95% of the time"? How long
would you need to get a firmware version, even if it did require an
Internet connection, which it doesn't?
How about a model number? Look for "Model" on the product label. Or
do you believe that you need an Internet connection for that, too?
