jaclaz Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Is it normal? that WAN is blinked when i not use internet???? Why it could be?It may be perfectly normal , as an example your ISP might want to "know" if the modem is coneected and working, there could be people (not necessarily malicious) pinging/arping/whatever, you may be part of an (ISP assigned) subnet range and get broadcasted packets, and of course there are thousands (or tens or hundreds of thousands) compromised machines/botnets that are randomly pinging/probing the internet for open ports and the like .jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
