Installed this yesterday after a few hours I saw the red light turned on and then it went off. Anyone know why that happened and what it is for?

The DSL modem/Router has 5 lights. Power, DSL, Internet, Ethernet, and Wireless. All should be green. If the Ethernet (the wired connection to your PC) is not connected, its light will be off. If you are exchanging data via the internet, the Internet light will flicker green. You did not specify which light turned red and then off. If it was the Power, check the power connections and check the output from the power supply. If it was the DSL, your DSL line went bad. Check the connections.

I believe that indicates the device searching for a wireless printer, or other "networked" devices.

we called the company that made it and they gave us a code to put in the computer.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

Sounds like it could be the chip is installed wrong or missing altogether. That will give you a red light also. Mine works super.. Yes series is correct..

if it was installed correctly, the backlit showed be on. There is a wire that is connected to the power, that should be properly inserted into the small connector on the circuit board.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

I just plug mine in the red light comes on and then I leave it there till I need to use it. Yours might be defective...

I wouldn't worry about it. My LED has been red since day one. Haven't had a bit of trouble with it. Enjoy!

There is a red switch in the back I didn't know about it til I was cleaning it. Return if the switch doesn't work.

i had the same problem, the red light stayed on & couldn't get the green light to show until i adjusted the float knob (the white knob)...then it worked perfect!

Don't know if this will help but before you installed did you lay it in full sun for the day so it was sure to get a full charge? I am assuming you installed in a sunny location. If "yes" to these it sounds like it is defective. Return or exchange it. My mom's has been up for over two years in a partially sunny location is is still working. Good luck.

You should have gotten charge cords for both items. Just plug the cords into them and when they are charged the red light will go off.

Is the red led power-on indicator lit?If so,your problem is most likely with the device.A volt-meter would help.

The red light should go off when fully charged. If it doesn't you could have a defective battery that never reaches full charge. Try another battery before you conclude that it is a charger problem.

sorry I had to return this item as, I charged it for almost ten hours and still nothing turned on. Also I never noticed a red light I believe that the one I got was ruined.

This should work to get your lights back to normal. Mine would either be off or on and since I replaced this part it works right. If u are not to savvy watch videos on YouTube. It is a fast and easy fix. Take less then 10 minutes. If this doesn't work out may be loose wires. But this should fix your problem. Hope everything works out!!! :-)

I had this issue before, and when asked a friend who had installed he same wire he said his does the same, however, and after 4 months my wire gave out and stopped working... when i got the replacement, the red (alert) light stayed off and only the green light is on unless there is a real alert. So I am not 100% sure if it is defective, but the red light should come on only when there is an alert.

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!
