A:Answer Hello Terry, the red blinking light means that there is something interfering with the communication between your 2 devices. There may be something like a surge protector or some other device with a motor in the near by area. The devices should be plugged into wall outlets, but in my case I didn't have a wall outlet close enough to my router, so I had to plug the device into the surge protector. It still works fine, but I believe mine blinks from green to red because I have one of them plugged into the surge protector. The red color indicates that the link rate at is < 50 mb/s or less, and when it is green, the link rate is > 80 mb/s . As I previously mentioned, the blinking red light has not negatively affected my streaming TV service, but you may be able to try moving your device to a different outlet and see if the red blinking light can be eliminated.
Good luck
