said by goober22:The point isn't to remove it from the traffic stream but to prevent it from making the link/activity light flash constantly. It did not do it with the old firmware but does now with the new one.
Otherwise, what is the point of an activity light if it's always flashing on background noise?
Should be:
Off = no connection
On = connection
Flash = customer activity
But, I guess I'm with Dusty. I'll "fix" my high tech device and it's constant flashing with a piece of electrical tape.
I apologize that the firmware update changed the behavior of the modem, but that's not something we here can control. We only push out the firmware Motorola creates for these modems. If there would be anyone that could do anything with your issues, it would be Motorola. They might be able to provide more information on why this was changed.
