This is normal - indicates internet traffic. Don't worry about it so long as all the lights are green. The lights will turn orange if there is a fault of any kind.

Hope that helps!

How can i reset my Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router it cannot connect for an internet connection

  • Locate the small master-reset pinhole on the back of the router. The pinhole is located directly to the right of the Ethernet port labeled "connection to modem."

  • 3

    Soft-reset the router by placing a sharp object, like a push pin, into the router hole. Push inward and immediately release the button. The lights on the router will flash and then the "Power/Ready" light will start to blink. When the light turns solid, the router is reset and ready to use. This reset does not restore the router to factory settings. It refreshes the software and is similar to rebooting a computer. If you want to restore the router to the factory settings, skip this step and move to step four.

    Master-reset the router by placing a sharp object, like a pushpin into the router hole. Keep the pin pushed into the hole for 10 seconds. The lights on the router will flash and then the power/ready light will start to blink. When the light turns solid, the router is reset and ready to use.

    Internet light keeps blinking

    Disconnect all "wired" computers.
    Shutdown all "wireless" devices (iPod Touch, wireless laptop).
    If the light still blinks, then either this is "normal" for your router,
    or your router has been "hacked" by computer-hackers.

    Contact your ISP for advice.

    Ineed to know what blue light tells me that my router is working?

    Hi jackmyrtue,

    Here's what the lights on the front indicate:


    A. Wireless Security
    • OFF Wireless security is off
    • Solid Blue Wireless security is on
    B. Wireless-Computer Status
    • OFF Wireless computer is not present
    • Solid Blue Wireless computer is connected to the Router
    • Blinking Amber Problem with wireless computer onnecting properly to the Router
    C. Wired-Computer Status
    • OFF Wired computer is not present
    • Solid Blue Wired computer is connected to the Router
    • Blinking Amber Problem with wired computer connecting properly to the Router
    D. Router/Power Status
    • When you apply power to the Router or restart it, a short period of time elapses while the Router boots up. During this time, the "router" icon blinks.
    • When the Router has completely booted up, the "router" icon becomes a solid light, indicating the Router is ready for use.
    • OFF Router is off
    • Blinking Blue Router is booting up
    • Solid Blue Router is on and ready
    E. Modem Status
    • This icon lights in blue to indicate that your modem is connected properly to the Router.
    • It turns amber when problem is detected.
    • OFF Router is NOT connected to modem
    • Solid Blue Router is connected to modem and functioning properly
    • Blinking Amber Problem with modem
    F. Internet Status
    This unique icon shows you when the Router is connected to the
    • Internet. When the light is off, the Router is NOT connected to the Internet.
    • When the light is blinking amber, the Router is attempting to connect to the Internet.
    • When the light is solid blue, the Router is connected to the Internet.
    When using the "Disconnect after x minutes" feature, this icon becomes extremely useful in monitoring
    the status of your Router’s connection.

    • OFF Router is NOT connected to the Internet
    • Blinking Amber Router is attempting to connect to the Internet
    • Solid Blue Router is connected to the Internet

    I hope this helps figure out your PS3 issue.

    Thanks and don't forget to leave a rating.

    Me Two, I just reboot my cable box and router box, i do wireless online gaming and every bout 10 mins, i get disconnected even though i have full signal, on he routers web interface settings I have everything up-and-running and thr top right hand corners says connected, but when it drops I just realised that the internet light stops blinking aswell..???
    What is this, this routers is way too annoying keep getting disconnected from every god damn game.
    Keep me up-to-date if you what the preoblem is.
    And oh, the person who can't get on the internet even though his ''WAN'' Says Stable i have 2 possible reasons.

    In the address bat type in the following..
    192.168.2.1.
    look on the left of the screen you can see DNS, if not already ticked, tick the the little box which states.
    '' Automatically assign DNS by IP'' then Apply Changes.
    Or, Go Straigt down to the bottom and go to system settings, also go down to the very bottom. At this poin you can see A option or '' Advanced Featue! '' Menu saying, UnPn or something lol, click the box which says enable or something.

    Hope this has helped
