R7800 Internet LED Blinking
Hi: My Nighthawk router's Internet LED continues to flash white when the Internet connection to my ISP drops. I reboot the router (and my PC) and the orange no connection light blinks for a few secon...
That was the conclusion I came to also. But I did want to check with the experts!
Thanks for the information!

Thanks for the reply!
Router only. From the PL Injector to the router is about 8', using Cat6 ethernet. No, I am not using Genie. The issue is not the Internet dropping (my WISP has been having hardware and configuration issues) but the fact that the white LED Internet light remains blinking even though on the home page of the R7800, the Internet box is red and says no connection. If I understand how the router is supposed to work is that if the connection drops, the led turns orange.
Many thanks,
P.
Yes the internet turns orange if there is a problem with the internet signal coming in the router but the radio link on the top of your house could keeping a false signal the router that keeps it happy even if there is problem signal in to house . Wireless is a funny thing to get correct as distance and many other things can affect it.
