Edit to clarify: The internet activity lights on both keep flashing. The wireless light on the router is on, but does not show any activity.


If you look at the log file for your Linksys, it will state what transmission requests it has refused. (There are quite a lot as there are virus's that search the internets for unsecured systems) Also, there should be a certain amount of activity as the modem has to maintain a keep alive packet with the central office. However, most of the activity is usually from infected systems on the network.
