Failing to get Tellstick Net online

[howcome]

I'm in a remote location where a TL-WR710N provides wired internet (by way of a mobile phone with wifi). The wired connection works fine with my PC (see log below), but when I connect the Tellstick Net it blinks red. It tries to go online it seems; the little green LED by the network cable comes on regularly. I presume that the Net should have a blue light, rather than a red before I can activate it. If so, it seems that the Net cannot "phone home". I've tried power-cycling the unit. I've also tried activating, but no luck. Advice appriciated.

Telldus support is dealing with the issue. Even on a Sunday. Great support!

To conclude this subject: Telldus sent me a new unit in place of the old the old, which somehow was faulty. The new unit came online immediately. Support was very supportive, thanks!
