New Microcell fails to Activate - Just Ethernet light blinking
I plugged in a brand new Microcell (DPH154) into my TPLINK router, which is plugged into my Time Warner cable modem, and despite placing near windows, plugging in and unplugging, resetting, etc. all that it ever does is flash the network symbol very fast. The "Activation" page on att.com doesn't show any progress at all. Plugging it directly into the Time Warner cable modem doesnt make a difference. Am I doing something wrong?
Wifi works just fine from the Apple airport express plugged into the TPLINK router, so I know our internet is just fine.

From your brief description, if the ethernet light is blinking then you don't have a connection and you can't activate.Is the blinking network symbol the 3G light? Try to be a little more specific in which light is blinking and what the color is.

If the OP is using the correct terminology for the 154, the "Network" light is equivalent to the 3G light on the earlier models. If that is the case, then he has power, a usable Ethernet connection, and a GPS lock.
Hopefully the OP will post back with a clarification of which light is flashing. It does bother me that the OP said "very fast" when describing the flashing. I don't know about the 154 but if one of my 153's lights flash, they aren't fast at all. It makes me wonder if he has the old AC adapter problem.

Those pesky little ac adapters can just cause all kinds of havoc! Hope it's as simple as that.
