    Hey guys

    I was attaching a booster antenna onto my router when i pressed an unmarked silver button (blended into the silver trim) along the right side of the router (with the lights facing towards you). Theres this BRIGHT blue led that flashes and i guess it stopped after a few minutes.
    I didnt notice anything happening with my connection so im very curious as to what that is.

    Thanks

    It may have been one of the buttons that is suppose to help setup wireless security, which very seldom work.

    It unlocks the router so you can add a new device.

    thanks.
    the adding new device and unlocking router temporarily make sense. Thanks.
