I think this may be over my head. if this is an issue with the device, i can have the developer help me correct it. I just wanted to make sure this is not a problem with my network before I turn to them and waste their time. i honestly though that posting this would lead to a quick fix like...

Ah ha.. see that's what I am thinking. This should not work, and yet it has worked in the past. The device is getting an IP address assigned to it when I run the configuration routine setting up the device. With DHCP toggled on it gets the IP address. Then it changes to a static IP and never...

I see, and thank you for your help. I do not have a working understanding of networks. All I know is when I look at the network status on the PC I only see an Ethernet network (wired). I do not see a Wi-Fi network. Yet, somehow the PC and the W-Fi devise can communicate. At least they did at one...

Yes, the PC is wired and the device is Wi-Fi. I do not have any information on the device's wifi specifications. I guess I am just trying to understand how these two separate networks are communicating. They seem to be doing so in spite of no bridge between them...

It is a Actiontec C1000A.

Hello, I’m trying to figure out how it is that a WiFi enabled device I have in a remote location can communicate to a PC that does not have a Wi-Fi card or adapter. It is instead a hardwired Ethernet connected to a Netgear switch then to the Centurylink modem. I never set up a Wi-Fi to Ethernet...

The network adapter is intel.

Sorry about the double post first time on the site

From what I can tell from other sites, you are correct. There doesn’t seem to be any global standard to apply. However, as you mentioned, it’s specific to the manufacturer, so it would seem the manufacturer had some implied meaning behind it or why would they have the light to begin with? Even...

Hello, I am trying to pin down the meaning behind an amber/orange flashing led at my Ethernet port. This is in addition to the standard green led. I am not noticeably experiencing any delay with my WLAN. I have not attempted to measure the actual speed yet but none of my applications seem to be...
