weest i think he is on about the blue light at the top m8 that flash every so often.

Re: flashing traffic light
 

it is the top blue light.

Apparently its supposed to be on solid from what Ive heard, mine flashes intermittently but connection is solid.

Re: flashing traffic light
 

The Top Blue light is the Traffic/Throughput light and will flash as per the receive and send lights on an Ambit 256.

The middle light is the Ready light which indicates the modem is online once lit solid.

The bottom light is the wireless light which flashes whenever a wireless device accesses the internet via wifi and is green in 2.4ghz mode or blue in 5ghz mode.

Well done

The Top Blue light is continually flashing.
very annoying

Re: flashing traffic light
 

It's a very bright LED that lights the whole room up when I'm working in a darkened room. Almost strobe-like. I had to turn the SHUB around to reduce the luminosity.

I wonder if it's bad for epileptics?

Re: flashing traffic light
 

probably, but you dont need to be epileptic to have a fit at the superhub!

black tape, bash bosh

Re: flashing traffic light
 

its all very well using black tape that don't solve the issue of why it is continually flashing.
when it should only flash when data is being sent or received. it even flashes continuous when pc not on and wireless switched off.

Re: flashing traffic light
 

the modem will be communicating with the CMTS, nothing to worry about

Re: flashing traffic light
 

Blue light goes off at night and daytime when you dont want it to!!!

It flashes so u cant sleep, then goes off at day time when virgin media can not support the speed they advertise!!!

Great business, NOT!

Still waiting my call back to allow them to PICK UP THE HUB and HD boxes!

NEXT MONTH MUST BE FREE!!! Wooooohoooo!!!! :confused:

MOD EDIT: Please don't try to bypass the swear filter - Lew

It obviously will be free as you will no longer have the equipment to receive thier services.
