| 763380 | 2009-04-09 01:58:00 | Hi, I have a Dynalink RTA1025W and seen ever I go to play age of empires 3 online the lights on the router Lan 1 and Lan 2 both flash even when theres no one on the other computer. Why is this? Plus the lan 2 light always stays on 24/7 for some reason even if the computer is off. |

| 763381 | 2009-04-09 02:04:00 | That's pretty normal. Generally even if a PC is turned off, the router will still recognise the cable is plugged in. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 763382 | 2009-04-09 02:08:00 | The computer that recongises the ethernet cable is in is like 6-7 years old and the on that doesnt recongise its plugged in is home built like 1 year old tech. Should both lan lights be flashing though? Why |

| 763383 | 2009-04-09 02:12:00 | They will usuaully flash every now and then...it's nothing to be worried about and is completley normal. I think the reason the connection stays active when the PC is off is to allow WOL (wake on lan) to work, that can normally be activated or deactivated in the BIOS. |
