I got an MB6800 in the mail yesterday and I think it might be DOA. When I plug in the power to the router all of the LED's on the front come on and stay on (see attached image). My Sierra 881 AirCard does not look like it's getting any power from the router when plugged in.
Also, the router is not broadcasting a wireless network. I tried to manually connect to the router using the routers S/N as the SSID (just in case the router was just not broadcasting the network name) but that was no use. It's not a problem with my laptop's wireless, I use it all the time- I tried another laptop just in case, no use (all of my LAN setting are correct for both my NIC and wireless NIC- full auto... although I tried to manually assign an IP but again, that was no use.
Same results when trying to connect with an Ethernet cord, my laptop does not even recognize that it's connected to something.
There's nothing in the user manual that says why all the LED's on the front should be on... do I have to install firmware to the thing out of the box or something? I called TopGlobal's customer support number and got a cell phone voice mail (wierd right?) I'll try again later today.
Sorry for the long post, but this is pretty discouraging... and I cant find similar problems on the net.
