BEFSR41 led behaviour on power-up

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.lans.ethernet (More info?)

Hello:

I recently had a power surge take out my router (linksys BEFSR41 v2
Firmware Version 1.46) i was able to repair it, everything seems to
work fine, but on power-up all leds light except the Act on the WAN
column, i can't remember if it was like that before the surge.
Could someone be so kind as to unplug and plug his/her unit and see if
it behaves like mine?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.

normal,
I believe this indicates a self-test is being run. I have a
question for you about "i was able to repair it" HOW? I
think
mine (linksys BEFSR41 v2 Firmware Version 1.46) received a
power surge as well. Now whenever I plug in a lan cable, I
get all LEDs on that channel blinking rapidly or solid -
Link/Act, Full/Col and 100 respectively. Can not seem to
communicate with router - ping, tftp, etc..... Any ideas?

Any help, suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
