Hi Listers, But one still would have a hassle, I think, because sometimes the dsl status light flickers, which apparently is wrong, as it should burn constantly.
I don't know whether one would be able to identify that with the light probe?

Hi Patricia; If you can tell them what lights are on/off in an order, let's say from top to bottom, and the IP tech person can't determine which of these lights is supposed to be On/off and what their colors should be, it is probably a tech support person that you don't want to talk to in the first place. I don't think any of the lights on a modem are suppose to glow in more than 1 color. Take care.

Mike, I hear ya there buddy, but even with a light probe all it does is make that buzzin' sound to let ya know a light is on, but sure as heck don't tell ya the color of the blinkin' light which is always what they ask...is the green light on? I'm thinkin' green stands for go so that should be like a no brainer for them to figure out or, otherwise why are you callin'?
