Mine is always flashing too. I think the only cosmetic flaw of this product is the lights. They are way too bright.

A flashing status LED indicates a working router.
This is OK.

I Agree. Took some blue tape and stuck it into the housing's front side. Much better now

Yes and why did they make the router white?

Why did you roll your eyes? Is it because I have a preference that you do not relate to, or care about? How open minded of you...

The blue lights are too bright in my darkened living room/home theatre, while watching a movie. The fact that one of them pulsates, makes it even worse. If the room is completely dark, the DIR-655 is as bright as a night light. A caveat that should be noted for anyone placing this router in a place where lights will be annoying.

I am considering the same thing. What kind of blue tape did you use? Painters (masking) tape?

Settle down I'm just poking fun.

I took usual tape as electricians use it, bought it in a do-it-yourself market here.

D-Link has had a flashing light which indicates "Situation Normal" for over 10 years (I know my DI-524 has one too). I guess this was a consultation for the fact that the engineers couldn't provide the CEO with sharks with frickin' laser beams on their head.   

Next thing you know, they will incorporate a buzzer that alarms... just to tell you everything is fine. Oh wait, they already have. I hear the fan on the DIR-685 is so loud, you can't even hear a TV over it!

Do you have it 30" right in front of you? If not I can not imagine the lights being too bright that much that it irritates you. You're supposed to look at the big bright screen when computing...

hmmm and nice fw toggle to turn off the lights...couldn't be that hard could it?

onebyside runs....

You remember that old T.V. add for BlueBlockers.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm settled now

My solution was to put the router where it is inconvenient to get too, this makes it hard to see as well. While "hidden" the light level is much lower. Not a perfect solution...
