Hi Doug,
When I first connect the Linksys to the FiOS output, I see the linksys blink a few times, and then it is solid, indicating nothing is changing.
Why would I need a crossover cable? I thought that the output of one router or bridge to the input of another router or bridge, doesnt need a crossover cable. However, I have never done that before.
Thanks for the idea,
Jim

do you see any lights on either side indicating that there is any
traffic at all between the two?
