Model: TL-WR902AC  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 0.9.1 0.4 v0089.0 Build 230223 Rel.5237n(4555)

Hi,

 

I use this Device in Access Point Mode. LAN Cable from Router is connected und all wireless connected Devices have Internet Access. But LED for indicating Internet Connection is continuously flashing!

I recently Upgraded to the mentioned Firmware. Before everything was fine = no flashing!

Additional Information. The Cable is not connected directly to Router, there is a Switch in between!

 

 

Kind regards,

Jens

Hi, thank you very much for posting on TP-Link Community.

Could you please double check if it is Power LED or Internet LED keeps flashing? normally the Internet LED doesn't have a flashing status.

Please also try removing the cable between WR902AC and the switch, and then plug it back. Also try a different port or try connecting directly to main router to see if it makes any difference.

Hi  Thanks for trying to help me!

 

I think this feature was new in the mentioned new Firmware. You'll find this Information only in Quick Installation Guide!

And yes it is the Internet LED!

 

I did connect to the Router directly and it's still the same issue!

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback about Quick Installation Guide, I checked the LED explanations from user guide before, and I will report the difference to related team to confirm and update it based on the latest version.

 

Regarding the Internet LED issue now, are you using the WAN/LAN port on TL-WR902AC to connect the router or switch? If so, please let us know the brand and model of your router and switch, we will report to senior engineer for testing.

Hi,

 

yes I use the WAN/LAN Port to Connect the TL-WR902AC to Internet tested by

  1. Switch (Netgear GS605 v4 5-Port Switch)
  2. Router (Fritzbox 7590)

and in both cases I got the same Issue!

 

Kind regards

Not really an "issue" (everything working fine) but exact same observation here (blinking Internet LED) in AP mode. Fresh installed OOTB. I installed the TL-WR902AC because some small devices refuse to connect to my main AP EAP615-Wall (and apparently they successfully connect to TL-WR902AC) Firmware version:0.9.1 0.3 v0089.0 Build 230506 Rel.55329n(4555) Hardware version:TL-WR902AC v4 00000001 Switch is TL-SG2008 v4.0 Router is ER7206 v1.0 Both are adopted using OC-200 Hope this helps, kind regards

Hi, the issue will be resolved in the next firmware release but we don't have advanced norice about the ETA, it is recommended to monitor new firmware update via the router Web GUI or TP-Link official website.
