It functions correctly. It should blink when expected and not when it shouldn't.

The internet light blinks on most modems to indicate there is active traffic, so yes it is normal.

Thanks for the update. I understand now that a blinking internet light indicates an issue with the DSL cable or wall connection. Appreciate the clarification! Have a great day.

For additional details, refer to the owner's manual. The section on the Internet LED explains: Solid white indicates a detected Internet connection. Solid amber means no connection detected. If you need further help, check the troubleshooting guide on page 299. Data transmission is active with alternating white and amber lights. The traffic meter is on and has reached its limit. Off signifies no internet access or connection failure.
