It states right in the user guide a red flashing 3G light may be a device issue. Sounds like it is broken.

Not necessarily. If AT&T updates the MicroCell (and this is usually done in the middle of the night without advanced notice or reason), and there is a problem re-connecting, the 3G light will start blinking red because the update either failed or the MicroCell thinks it has because of no connection. That happened to me a couple of weeks ago and a quick power cycle of my modem/router/ MicroCell resolved the blinking red light and I was back up and running in under 10 minutes.


For MicroCell Setup and Basic Troubleshooting, use this link.
For additional help, please send a PM to ATTCustomerCare.
