    Why is my Linksys EA7500 router blinking?
    oswaldo
    about 2 years ago
    Linksys EA7500 router blinking: when you see these lights blinking rapidly, it is a sure sign of a connection problem. You may also see this if you are running the self-test or when there is a firmware upgrade going on.
