A while ago it seemed that when my P.C was switched off the modem lights (u/s - d/s) never flashed at all. And I am sure I read here, that other people commented on the fact they used to always flash, but had stopped when modems had updated firmware or similar.

So, should I be worried that my lights flash? My router has WEP enabled and I have MAC filtering on. Is there any other way someone could be accessing my modem - which would explain my terrible speeds at times.

Or am I being a willy worry? Cheers.
