Thanks for continuing to build for Belkin F5D8235-4 v2.
Not sure this needs a bug report or just an explanation, every build I have tried for this Belkin router starts out with the Wireless indicator blue LED on. After seemingly random length of time (but no more than a day or so), the blue and amber LEDs behind the Wireless indicator are both on. Nothing in the web interface indicates that any errors have occurred (not even Tx/Rx errors). Sometimes this also happens with the Wired indicator too, if any ethernet ports are in use.
On this build, after only 2 minutes of up time, the Wireless indicator has both LEDs on, and the Wired indicator has only the blue LED on.
What do these LEDs mean?
P.S. As I recall, on the original Belkin firmware, the Wireless indicator would be amber during boot time and turn blue once the wireless radio was in operation. Same with the ethernet router and the Wired indicator. I assume that if you disabled the WiFi in Belkin's web interface that the Wireless indicator would turn from blue to amber, but I never tested that.
