Internet LED R7800 blinking with no device connected

[JJSI]

Hi,

Since some weeks ago, the Intenet LED of the r7800 is blinking all the time, even with no device connected. I don't know if this normal, if could be a problem of the router, a problem of the Internet provider, or something else.

I would appreciate any help you that you colud provide.

Thanks

Is the router connected to the ISP modem/ONT? If so, then the internet LED will blink as it's detecting activity between the router and modem/ONT. 

This is correct behavior.

Did you enable the traffc meter in R7800.

If so you might set some pre-set limit. say 100 or 300 gigs. Once that is over then the internet LED should blink amber only if the checkbox is checked.

Thank you very much for your advices.

I had the traffic meter activated, but without flashing the LED.

So the only solution is that is the traffic between the router and the modem. Thank yo uvery much.
