I think I was mistaken in my assumption. As I understand it this thing is meant to sit between the modem and the router so I imagine it should not work if you put it between the router and the PC, but then isn't that exactly how you would use it if you were in a hotel and you had a network port on your laptop? Well I tried it anyway and it didn't work.
If I connect it the way it is meant to be connected, Etisalat Modem -> Mini -> D-Link Router the lights on the Mini do not behave as they are meant to.
DC says that after connecting it inline between the modem and router the LEDs on the network ports should be lit the same, either both green solid and both orange flashing or both orange solid and both green flashing. Even DC doesn't seem sure which it is but either way mine do not do the same. On one side I have solid green flashing orange and on the other side solid orange flashing green.
My little red power light appears to start to behave as DC describe but eventually it settles on a slow, single flash; not double flash, single flash.
The lights on the router indicating internet connection does actually go blue at one stage suggestion it is all working but then after a further 30 seconds it goes back to orange.
Anyone know how you get any support from these people?
