Red light INSIDE base station?

@eadesdd,

Uh, am I seeing this correctly? There's a red light inside the unit so bright it's illuminating half of the top of the base station? And is maybe coming out between a gap in the top and bottom of the base station and illuminating whatever that is on the right hand bottom corner?

Did your alarm go off recently?

You can also follow the instructions on accessing the internal module to see if the light is on it.  Should be pretty easy.

Hi eadesdd,

Sorry that our Support didn't catch that. There's a little red LED on the cell module that can indicate errors. It's either that the cell module isn't connected to the main board properly (there's just a cable that links them), OR it's not able to reach the cell sites in your area.

Have you ever had your cell module replaced? We should do that ASAP and make sure that it's upgraded to 4G.

Just an update, it was an issue with my cell module, apparently I was running on a 2G Verizon!  My upgrade has been shipped.

Thanks for the help!
