blinking red ethernet light
Just activated new xfinity internet service with brand new CM500 modem- all lights are solid green except for the Ethernet light, which is blinking red. Xfinity customer service says my modem is activ...
As per the CM500 User Manual p.6 there is no red LED on the Ethernet port:
An amber LED does indicate there is a 10 or 100 Mbit/s link speed negotiated between the computer. This can be a limitation of the computer Ethernet interface, or a bad/incomplete cable - a Gigabit Ethernet link requires four correctly wired and patched pairs. This should allow communication between the computer and at least the Cable Modem on http://192.168.100.1/ - permitting the computer is set-up to DHCP (and getting a public IP from the ISP DHCP).
Is your Internet service activiated -How do I activate my Internet service with Comcast XFINITY?
- Yes, the internet service is activated.
