... the frontal led is red and blinking, all the four leds around the len is solid red ...
what does red blinking mean ?
any other way to force a reset ? since w this status ( wired or wireless ) apparently it won't
hard reset ( unless I'm doing something really wrong ) ... tried different routers too ...
finally on the following -which way is the correct way (wireless):
1) dcs 932l ethernet cable not plugged, computer connected to the same router via wireless (no cables at all ... ) -using wps and/or no wps
2) dcs-932l without ethernet cable, computer connected to same router wired & wireless
3) dcs-932l  without ethernet cable, computer connected to same router without wifi but with ethernet/rj45
4) dcs-932l with ethernet to router, computer wireless and not wired
5) dcs-932l with ethernet, computer wifi only .....

cisco/linksys e300 router panel doesn't indicate any signal from dcs-932l ... but there is an option
to use wps through the admin pages rather than pressing router's wps button ...

please, please ! i've been sitting in this computer for the last 4 hours ...... it was supposed to be 5minutes
(pcs-932l manual)

thank you, thank you if any could shed me some light, any light !!!!!

Blinking red - sounds like maybe a bad unit ?

Update on this, after wasting my entire Saturday,
Ive managed to make the frontal blinking red become
a solid red ( but WPS solid blue )... by restoring my router to its factory
settings ... then when unplugging ( ac/power ) the
dcs 932l and plugging it to the power again still blinks
... at this point reconfig the router and pressing
router's WPS button causes the dcs-932 to solid red
( frontal led ) .... ---but the WPS led ( back dcs932)
still maintain the WPS' solid blue ... but the router
nor the computer ( dlink install ) shows any sign
of dcs932L ... luckily I do desktop recording,
so I can go back and see all the steps ...

the only detail I can see that might be the root
cause is the following;: my first setup w 932L
Was done through WPS, the camera was found and
the install went all the way to the last step -> cannot
find dlink server when trying t add device my pcs932l to
Mydlink account - since it failed I cancelled it all
and checked the router settings so I could retry install ....
I believe I deleted pcs932L entry from DHCP Client Table
.... That's when the trouble began ....  wild guess, but
is it possible that this action messed the connection
between router and dcs932 ( wireless ) ? sending
the device to a "stuck state" ??!!!

did you ever resolve this? My 932 is now solid red on the front, after a firmware update and attempts to reset.
