[QUOTE="flyinxlt, post: 958891, member: 134620"] Well, it's rather interesting. We just moved to the country and they have "water tower internet" out here which is basically a mini-tower set up on all of the local water towers. I then have a mini-dish on my roof pointed toward the water tower. It is thru Fox Valley Internet based out of Elgin Illinois. I don't know if I am allowed to post links here, but a quick google search will pop them up so you can see what I am talking about. The odd thing about the connection is that there is not a modem. There is an ethernet cable running from the dish into the house where it gets plugged into an extremely short "extension" cable which gets plugged into an outlet. I assume this is how the dish gets power. There is no modem and they tell me it is considered an "always on internet connection". It works great, but I still get the blinking amber light. I took a stab in the dark and tried to unplug everything for about (3) minutes and then only plugged in the ethernet cable; waited about (2) minutes and then plugged in the AE. No change. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
