disable SSID broadcast solve the E4200 continuous flashing problem [ Edited ]

[QuietPine-00]

I was quite excited about E4200 I got yesterday. Everything works perfect except front LED light start blinking a few hours later. Don't know why it happens in a sudden and non-stop. 

After several tries, I found that disabling SSID broadcast for both 2.4 and 5GHz stops the blinking.

Of course, before doing that, I upgraded firmware to 1.0.02, reset to factory defaults and finally set up E4200 manually rather than using Cisco Connect.  

Now the LED light is continuously lit.

I hope this hint could help you to solve the poblem as well.

A blinking LED is less of a problem than disabling the SSID broadcast and breaking 802.11 standards.

Do not disable the SSID broadcast. The batteries of your wireless devices will thank you, too.

Thanks for your suggestion, Expert. So do you have any ideas about how to stop the blinking?

I believe disabling the SSID broadcast will disable the network devices from identifying hte router SSID thus not being able to connect wirelesly. Is that true?

I wonder if the 'flasjhing logo' problem (which indicates WPS connection is in process) could be due to using Cisco Connect initially.

I am thinking of doing a '30-30-30' rest, using the web browser for all the configuration.(I have been doing this ever since ditching Cisco Connect early on).
