RT-314 Weird behavior

Post by theINSPECTOR »

Whazupwidat?..........My data light on my Cable modem and my LNK/Internet light on my RT314 are continuously flashing....even when I'm not doing anything online. Menu 24.1 shows only Lan packet activity. It never did this until I upgraded to v3.25. What gives? :confused:

Your router is fine. @home is being hit (so they say) by this code-red thing and that's what's causing all the blinking lights. There's a lot of probes and stuff going on and if you just keep AV's, firewalls and such armed and updated, you'll be fine. Check the Security Forum for more yakking about all this mess.

Thanks, Jim. That's what I figured........The only concern I had was 90% of the activity was on the LAN side when I checked the router status. The firewall (Sygate) logs don't report too much out of the ordinary. I just wasn't sure.

The totals might show more LAN activity, but with these blinking lights you should not see a lot of LAN hits and not really all that much WAN either. There's not a lot of data associated with this activity.

Just stay armed, and you're welcome!
