Blinking white internet light
Just purchased this thing. I have hooked it all up and followed all the instructions.
I cannot finish set up or do anything with it.
The white internet light is continually blinking. Almost like having a phone call and being able to say one word before the call drops. I can get it back after a few minutes but it just keeps doing it.
I am about to lose my mind over this damn thing ! Any one know what’s wrong ?

Are you able to access the gui on the router?
What are the rest of the led's doing?
Are you doing setup via the app or using a browser?
- It’s connected to an att BGW210.
I access it through the app. I can’t get near it any other way. It still won’t show on any of my WiFi network searches.
The internet planet symbol just flashes a lot. The rest is lit up and staying litProbably because your in a double nat. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
The BGW210 is a modem router combo device. And many people struggle to put it in modem only/passthrough mode properly.
a lot of people have to resort to putting the netgear into access point mode to fix the double nat issue.
