I just got my WZR-HP-G30?0NH this week. I am using it in client mode with the dd-wrt firmware for all entertainment devices (PS3, BluRay Player, DirecTV). I wondering how the WLAN light is supposed to work. Mine has a constant slow steady flash to it. The Linksys router I was useing beforehand you stay on all the time unless a device was useing it, then it would flicker very fast. Should this router do the same?? I could find anything in the user manual about how this light is supposed to function.
With DD-WRT it won't flicker like that, it only does that with the buffalo stock firmware, don't know why, something you would have to ask the dd-wrt devs. Its pretty much like that on all Atheros dd-wrt supported units. Only chipset i seen it work right on with dd-wrt is broadcom based routers.
Best Regards
Ok thanks, the router works fine and all, just something I was wondering about. Also it kinda eye catching with it blinking like that. I give the buffalo firmware a try sometime and see which i like better. Again thanks for the info!!!
The Buffalo firmware doesn't have the client modes.
The buffalo stock firmware lacks alot of things compared to dd-wrt IMHO. With dd-wrt i can basically script out custom iptables rules and have it working like an enterprise lvl router, its awesome!
