What lights are supposed to be on when the router is working? My laptop doesn't detect a signal &amp; the router only has a small blue flashing light.

With the blue light on, the router is working. You probably don't have your home network set up on your main computer connected to the router. Once your home network is se,t up every computer (laptops will pick up the signal automatically. Make sure you have the yellow cable from your router going to the modem and your main computer cable that (goes to your modem) going to one of the grey slots on your router.

Mine behaves same as yours, COAX light blinks more based on amount of network traffic running through the adapter.

More than likely its your router, I tried everything I could to avoid buying another one cause I was having the same problem with my Linksys Router and as soon as I changed routers the problem was solved.

Sorry no I plugged it in and it worked. Sometimes I have to point it at the router but I believe that is a computer problem not a problem with the Bolse.

Thanks to you guys, I know why my modem's flashing orange! So an ENORMOUS thanks for making it an easy answer to find! I figured flashing orange would be something horrible and catastrophic... Who thought to use orange? Couldn't they have just used the green or something??Now... to figure out why it always used to flash blue before today... sigh...(edit: for future reference, my ethernet between my modem and Airport router seems to have spontaneously died- just swapped in a new cable and it's blue again!)

I've had similar issues with connectivity, intermittently and usually for no discernible reason... It's literally worked in one outlet, but not the one right next to it or across the room a bit. I've never seen a purple light and didn't see anything about it in the instruction manual. I can say this... I've had two Belkin products (the extender and a regular router) go out within months of each other and under the warranty time. I spent 15 minutes trying to get them to honor it, while speaking with someone who couldn't understand me. I cut my losses and went with ASUS products. Sorry if this is not much of a help.

Thanks. I'll try. Both my laptop and my computer have active little lights that seem to indicate they are sending or receiving signals. I gather that means a router would be sufficient if I understand K. Slon.

The 5100 is your cable modem. It is what connects your computer or home network to the outside world. Your cable line should connect from the wall to the 5100, then the 5100 should connect to either your router or directly to your computer. There shouldn't be a blue light on it. There should be 5 green lights (a few blink erratically to show data moving back and forth) and an amber light at the bottom to represent when it is in standby mode (standby mode is turned on when you hit the button on the top of the modem)

Our new LN-T1953H has the same annoying defect. Every time we select Blue Light: OFF in the setup menu, it comes back on later. Arrgh! Does anyone know how to fix this?

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

That is normal, it is always yellow when you have your computer on. All the other lights should be green. If one of the bottom lights goes out, your modem has stopped working completely and you need a new one.

Mine does the same thing, showing only the blue SA-CD light, the blue MultiChannel light, and the interior blue light, for about 5 seconds, then turns itself off. Did you get it fixed ? What was the problem ?Thanks ! Mine is under warranty, but I'm contemplating having it fixed locally.

I'd first unplug it and plug it back into the outlet. When we had problems this cleared it up -- consider it a reboot. If this doesn't work try another outlet. Not all outlets are the same (there may be a problem with the outlet itself). If the problem still persists it could be a signal problem -- for me, that means that it can't get the signal from your router to extend it. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

The indicator light will flash, literally for days...it's a slow charging process. Should be done in 3 days or less with a solid light indicator. You can also check the status of the battery charge by logging into your Arris router (http://10.0.0.1)
