The flashing is normal.

It looks like the flashing, which didn't occur as much in the past, is an indicator of external probing activity, not outgoing traffic. Thanks.

I think you've screwed up your settings somewhere. How are you testing your broadband speeds anyway?

dslreports.com's speed test... i know its probabl not the most accurate thing in the world, but i mean, hey, its still a big diff... how can i optimize my performance?

First, their is apparently an optimization for OS X and broadband connections. At least Control Freak says there is. Also, the java applets at DSL reports may operate different…

Very cool. I was wondering if you'd had the needed port blocked or restricted in the router, but this is much better. What router are you using?

Easy part first: The correct order for reconnecting your network stuff is this: modem router other. That's also the order for powering the items up. Connect everything first, the…
