Monday morning. You made your coffee, turned on the computer, logged into the site/system and… something is wrong. Cannot log into panels, orders are not showing, customer files cannot be opened, or worst of all, cannot access systems at all. You check your email inbox and an email says “your files have been encrypted.” That moment you understand: “If only not yesterday, not last week… if only there had been a proper backup infrastructure where a backup was taken every day.”

Data backup may sound like a boring IT routine. But in reality, it is one of the vital actions that keep businesses on their feet. Nothing seems to be happening today, until a small disruption suddenly grows. A software update error, an accidental deletion, an unexpected disk failure, or an innocent-looking email opened by one of your employees… All of them give rise to the same question: “Can we go back?”

Backup: The Way Back

Taking backups does not of course mean zero risk; our lives do not work that way either :) But it is the guarantee of “quickly returning to normal when something goes wrong.” Even the psychological effect of having a backup is quite large: Instead of panicking, teams follow the plan, and since it is almost certain that the problem will be solved, they behave more calmly and constructively when talking to customers.

Think of an e-commerce site. If the database crashes during a campaign week when carts are overflowing, not hours but minutes become important. Or you are a photographer; if the wedding shots of a customer are in a single copy and storage devices malfunction, it becomes almost inevitable that you will construct sentences starting with “if only.” This is exactly what backup does – it silences these “if onlys” from today.

How to Understand If a Backup Is “Good”?

Without getting bogged down in technical terms, you can understand whether a backup is strong with four simple features:

1. Current: Not yesterday, not last week if possible today. Especially in live systems running on hosting, VDS/VPS or physical servers, a “fresh backup” is worth its weight in gold.
2. In a separate location: A copy on the same machine is not a copy. A different disk, different cloud, different location… in short “somewhere else.”
3. Secure: Encrypted and with limited access. Even if an uninvited guest enters, the backup files should not be useful to them :)
4. Tested: The most important part. Saying “we took it” is not enough; saying “we opened it, it worked” is required.

These four items are actually a summary of a technical standard. For this reason, without needing to know very technical terms, you can say “if these four features are present, I feel comfortable.”

Transformation of Data: A More Fragile World Every Day

Our data is evolving: more online sales, more images/videos, more integrated business applications. Good news, infrastructures have accelerated; in environments like Netinternet Data Center, all processes such as internet infrastructure, energy, cooling, and security are professionally managed. Bad news is that problems have also accelerated: attacks are more creative, errors are more invisible, the impact of interruptions is greater. That is why backup needs to go from being a “task remembered once a month” to becoming part of daily life and one of the steps of each change. Just like wiping the window before opening the store, counting the cash register…

Backup Scenarios

Let us summarize the basic features of a generally applied backup scenario; think of it through a day’s flow:

• While everyone is asleep at night: The system automatically copies the files and database of the site on the hosting account. For applications on VDS/VPS, the backup operation that takes only the changed items at the hours you have planned kicks in.
• In a separate location: These copies are kept in a different storage; if you want, in a geographically separate location. So they do not share the same fate as the machine experiencing the problem.
• Securely: Data goes encrypted on the road and stays encrypted in storage. Only those you authorize have access.
• During the day, at the office: If a problem is noticed, you can tell Netinternet’s support teams “let us go back to yesterday’s 10:00 backup.” Recalling the image within minutes can be a more efficient and definitive solution in some scenarios than spending hours searching for the error.

Customized Backup Configurations

One of the most important elements in backup is that it is customized. In-house systems, e-commerce systems, etc. each system may need a different backup configuration. The most suitable structure for that job needs to be set up here. This structure is configured by taking into account many variables such as “backup schedule, number of copies, location, maximum retention period” for the relevant data.

“Experienced(!)” Small Stories

• Cafe chain: New POS version installed, stocks were calculated incorrectly. When the cash register did not match the report at the evening closing, the noon backup was restored; the day was not lost, nerves were not frayed.
• Agency: The client updated the theme in WordPress and the site crashed. Instead of looking for a developer, the “10:15 backup” came back. The client and traffic were barely affected.
• E-commerce: The campaign code was defined incorrectly, discounts overlapped in all carts. Thanks to the backup, a few hours of orders were moved to the error-free scenario.
• Hosting Providers: A security vulnerability in an outdated version was exploited and malicious guests who got inside encrypted all data. Thanks to the backups, access to your data is still possible. The vulnerability was closed and data was restored.

The scenarios, sectors, and jobs may look very different from each other but actually there is a common point: nobody talks about a “heroic” IT operation. Because good backup does not create a story. It quietly does its job.

Is Backup an Extra Cost?

The cost of a backup plan is generally cheaper than two things: the cost of interruption and reputation loss. Especially in critical applications running on VDS/VPS servers, the bill for one hour of downtime is often greater than a monthly backup cost. We hope your systems never need to fall back on a backup, but if there is a “good backup” infrastructure in the background, this infrastructure earns all its investment when things go wrong. We can say this comfortably.

A Simple Habit: Friday Check

Let us come to the human side of things. Do a mini 10-minute routine every Friday morning:
Look at the backup report, open a random backup in a test environment, check a couple of files or a small database. This small ritual is the most solid way to say “our data loss risks are under control” in management meetings.

Build the Right Infrastructure Configurations with Netinternet

• If you are saying “what is the right plan for us?”, we first do a brief exploration: which sites, which data, how often does it change?
• Then we design a flow suitable for you: daily file+DB for hosting, more frequent copies for frequently changing folders on VDS/VPS, full backup + fast restore option for dedicated/physical servers, geographically separate storage for cabinets…
• The last step, the most important: restore rehearsal.

Backup is one of the items most prone to being overlooked; because as businesses grow, the agenda becomes crowded and some possible problems, “remain invisible as long as systems are running.” But one day when the problem shows itself, a good backup sounds like this: “Don’t worry, I’m here.” :)

As we approach the end of our article, I would like to tell you about our managed servers service, where all technical operations including backup configurations customized for your business are performed by Netinternet’s expert teams.

Managed Servers - What Do We Undertake?

Need to restore from backup? The plan is ready. Did traffic suddenly increase? Resources are scaling. Did a security update come out? It has already taken its place on the schedule.

With Netinternet, your servers are safe, your performance is controlled, your data is secure.

In this article, we tried to explain that the importance of backup configurations is rising day by day. We hope it has been an explanatory content for you. See you in the next article..

In today’s digital age, there is a fundamental component that plays an active role in every corner of the internet, but often remains in the background: servers. Let us think for a moment, you wake up in the morning and check the notifications on your cell phone, then maybe you send an email or want to check the status of your order. With a single click, all the information you are looking for at that moment instantly appears on your screen. Well, how is this possible? This is exactly where servers come into play to provide this data exchange. All the data you want (articles, images, videos) is actually stored on a server and when you make a request, the relevant server sends you this data and allows you to see it on your device. In short, every digital interaction on the internet takes place with the existence of one or more servers. From the operation of our websites to our emails, from online games to cloud storage, every kind of digital service you can think of is possible thanks to servers.

A server, in its simplest definition, is a powerful computer system that provides services and resources to other computers (“clients”) on a network. Servers are designed to operate continuously ²⁴⁄₇ and are equipped with special hardware and software to provide high performance, security, and stability. When you visit a website, you have actually requested data from a web server where the site data is stored. The server receives this request, processes it, and sends the requested information to your device.

Why Do We Need a Server?

So why do we need a special server instead of our own computer? The main reasons for this are:

• Uninterrupted Operation: Websites or applications must be constantly accessible. Servers are designed for this purpose.
• High Performance: They have the capacity to quickly process many simultaneous requests.
• Security: They offer advanced security measures to protect sensitive data and be resistant to cyber attacks.
• Scalability: They offer the flexibility to increase or decrease resources as the workload increases.
• Accessibility: They provide ²⁴⁄₇ access from anywhere with an internet connection.

Server Types: Solutions According to Need

Servers are configured in various types according to different needs and scales. Here are the most common server types:

1. Physical Server (Dedicated Server)

A physical server is an independent hardware that is exclusively allocated to a customer or organization, with all resources (processor, RAM, storage, etc.) used only by that user. You can think of it like renting a house all by yourself; all the space and amenities belong to you.

Who Is It Suitable For?

It is ideal for very high-traffic websites, large-scale applications/services, game servers, intensive workloads, or businesses with special security requirements. Netinternet’s Dedicated Server services offer custom solutions in this area.

Advantages:

• Full Control and Customization: You can configure everything from the operating system to software according to your own needs.
• Maximum Performance: Since all hardware resources belong to you, you are not affected by the usage of any other user.
• High Security: Thanks to resource isolation, you are not affected by the security risks of other users.

2. Virtual Servers: VDS and VPS

Virtual servers are obtained by creating multiple independent server environments on a single physical server through software. This means dividing the resources of the physical server (CPU, RAM, storage) into sections with virtualization technology. VDS and VPS are the most common virtual server types known.

VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server)

VDS are virtual servers where the hardware resources of a physical server are divided in a specific and guaranteed manner with virtualization technology. It is like renting an apartment; you have a specific area and resources allocated to you that are not shared with others.

Who Is It Suitable For?

It is ideal for high-traffic web services, corporate applications, and users with higher performance expectations. Netinternet’s VDS Virtual Server services meet this need in the most performant way thanks to the high-speed SSD disks they house.

Advantages:

Guaranteed Resources: Resources such as CPU and RAM allocated to you are always available for your use, not affected by other VDS.

Higher Performance: More stable and performant than VPS because the risk of resource conflict is low.

Isolation: Provides better isolation and security.

VPS (Virtual Private Server)

VPS are virtual servers where the resources of a physical server are divided with virtualization but unlike VDS, resources can be dynamically allocated from a shared pool. You can think of it like a few families living in the same apartment building but using water from a common pool; usage can change according to instant demand.

Who Is It Suitable For?

It is suitable for small and medium-sized projects, blogs, or those looking for budget-friendly solutions.

Advantages:

• Cost Efficiency: Generally more affordable than VDS.
• Flexibility: Easier to increase and decrease resources according to need.

3. Managed Server

Managed server service is a solution where all technical management processes of your physical or virtual server (installation, configuration, security updates, backups, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and proactive monitoring) are undertaken by your provider. This service provides great convenience for institutions that do not want to deal with the technical details of their server or do not have sufficient knowledge, time, or personnel on this subject.

Who Is Managed Server Ideal For?

• Large-Scale Corporate Companies: Companies that prefer to outsource the expertise needed to manage large and complex infrastructures rather than keeping it in-house, and companies that are sensitive about cybersecurity and compliance.
• Businesses Without Technical Personnel: Companies that do not have sufficient technical teams to do ²⁴⁄₇ server management in-house or that want to focus on their core business.
• Companies with Critical Applications: Projects such as e-commerce sites, banking or healthcare sector applications where uninterrupted uptime and high performance are vital for business continuity.
• Those with Time Constraints: Business owners who prefer to focus on business development rather than dealing with operational burdens such as server maintenance and troubleshooting.

Advantages of Managed Server:

• Expert Support and Proactive Management: ²⁴⁄₇ monitoring by expert teams in servers, early detection and resolution of possible problems.
• Advanced Security: Providing maximum protection with continuous security updates, penetration tests, firewall management, and malware scans.
• Performance Optimization: Ensuring the server is configured in the best way, continuously running at high performance with software updates and performance settings.
• Disaster Recovery and Backup: Minimizing the risk of data loss with regular data backups and disaster recovery scenarios.
• Cost and Time Savings: You save the cost of setting up and training your own technical team, and you increase your efficiency by focusing on your core business.

With Netinternet’s Managed Servers service, you can leave the workload to professional hands and ensure that your digital presence works uninterruptedly and securely.

4. Cloud Server

Cloud servers, although similar to virtual servers at their core, are virtual servers where physical hardware resources are not tied to a single machine but are dynamically allocated from a wide “cloud” infrastructure consisting of multiple servers. You can think of it like checking into a hotel; the number of rooms and resources is almost unlimited and can flex according to your needs.

Who Is Cloud Server Suitable For?

The flexibility, scalability, and high availability offered by cloud servers make them an ideal option for a very wide variety of user profiles and business models. Here are situations where cloud servers are especially useful:

Development and Testing Environments: Programmers and development teams can quickly set up and shut down server environments to test new applications or websites. When the project is completed or the test is finished, they can prevent unnecessary costs by shutting down the server. This is a great advantage especially for teams constantly working on new projects or needing different test scenarios.

Businesses Wanting to Optimize Their Budget: Since cloud servers work on a “pay as you go” model, they eliminate the need for a large upfront investment. This is an attractive option especially for startups in the early stages or SMEs that want to tightly control costs. You only pay for the resources you consume.

Disaster Recovery and Backup Solutions: Thanks to the natural redundancy and distributed structure of cloud infrastructure, you can back up your data and applications to different geographic locations and quickly continue your service in case of a possible disaster. This is critically important for business continuity.

Big Data Analysis and Machine Learning Projects: For projects requiring intensive processing power or high storage capacity, cloud servers offer scalable resources on demand. Instead of a long-term fixed hardware investment, it provides the flexibility to rent high resources at certain stages of the project.

Cloud servers are a modern and powerful option for any project and business that wants to manage its digital infrastructure wisely, with the advantages of flexibility and cost efficiency.

Advantages:

• High Flexibility and Scalability: You can increase and decrease resources (CPU, RAM) within seconds instantly as needed. This way, you pay only for the resources you use.
• High Availability and Redundancy: Even in case of physical server failure, service continues without interruption through another server.
• Payment Model: Generally pay-as-you-go model, which allows you to optimize costs.

Server Hosting Service

Server hosting is a service where you purchase your own physical server, manage and maintain it yourself, while hosting your server in a data center. This service allows you to receive the secure environment, high-speed internet connection, uninterrupted power supply, air conditioning, and physical security required for your server from a provider like Netinternet.

Who Is It Suitable For?

It is ideal for large enterprises or technology companies that have invested in their own server hardware but want a professional data center environment and connection speed. Netinternet’s Server Hosting services are prepared to meet all requirements for your servers at a high level.

Critical Components in Server Hardware

SSD Disks (Solid State Drive)

These are storage units with much faster data reading and writing capacity compared to traditional HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). SSD disks allow applications, databases, and websites on the server to respond much faster.

Advantages: High speed, low latency, less energy consumption, more durable structure.

Why Is It Important?

It is of critical importance especially for database-intensive applications, high-traffic websites, and projects that want fast page loading times. You can host your projects on high-speed servers with Netinternet’s SSD VDS Virtual Server services.

Processor (CPU) and RAM

Processor (CPU): It is like the brain of the server, performing all calculation operations. The more powerful the processor, the more and faster the server can process. Servers generally use multi-core and multi-processor supported CPUs.

RAM (Memory): The area where the processor temporarily stores the data it needs at the moment. Sufficient RAM ensures that applications run smoothly and multiple requests can be processed simultaneously. Server RAM is generally error-correcting coded (ECC RAM), focusing on ensuring data integrity.

Server Usage Areas and Special Server Types

Servers not only host websites but serve very diverse digital needs:

• Web Server: Hosts website files and presents them to browsers. (e.g.: Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed)
• Database Server: Stores and manages data used by web applications or other software. (e.g.: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL)
• Mail Server: These are servers that allow sending and receiving email. They manage in-house or personal email communication. (e.g.: Exim, Postfix, Microsoft Exchange)
• Game Server: Provides the necessary infrastructure for online multiplayer games to run without interruption.
• Storage Server: Used for large data backups or cloud storage services.

Server Security and Maintenance

Servers are not only the heart of the digital world but also the constant target of cyber attackers. For this reason, server security and regular maintenance are of vital importance:

1. Firewalls: Controls incoming and outgoing traffic to the server and blocks unauthorized access.
2. Updates: Operating system and software updates close security vulnerabilities and improve performance.
3. Backups: Regularly backing up data prevents possible data losses.
4. Monitoring: Continuously monitoring server performance and resource usage allows early detection of possible problems.

Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a cloud server and a normal server?

• A cloud server is essentially a virtual server but is not dependent on a single physical hardware; resources are dynamically provided from a wide “cloud” infrastructure consisting of multiple servers. This provides dynamic advantages of high flexibility, scalability, and pay-as-you-go. The term “normal server” generally refers to a single physical server (dedicated server) or virtual servers tied to a specific physical server (VDS/VPS); here resources are more definite and instant scaling is more limited.

What is a Server Operating System?

• A server operating system is a special operating system on which the server runs, optimized to support network services, multi-user access, and high-performance applications. Unlike desktop operating systems, it generally has less graphical interface and focuses resources on server tasks. Examples include Windows Server, CentOS, Ubuntu Server, Debian distributions.

Why should I get Managed Server service?

• Managed server service allows you to leave all technical management of your server (installation, security, backup, update, optimization) to your provider. This way, even without technical knowledge or an IT team, your server is professionally managed and you can focus on your core business. It is especially ideal for large-scale corporate companies and businesses with critical applications.

The Right Server Choice Is the Key to the Job

Servers are the fundamental pillar of your digital world presence. Whether you host a personal blog, a large e-commerce site, or a complex corporate application, choosing the right type of server and service is critically important for your success. Correctly analyzing your needs, determining your budget, and working with a reliable provider will help you achieve your digital goals.

As Netinternet, we are by your side in your digital journey by offering solutions across a wide range from physical servers to virtual servers, from managed server services to server hosting. Do not hesitate to contact Netinternet’s expert team to find the right solution for your server needs and to confidently bring your projects to life.

Many components come together for your website to work smoothly and securely in the internet world. One of the most important of these components is licenses, which form the legal and functional basis of the software that provides the functionality on your server, we can easily say. Licenses, so to speak, form the legal and functional foundation of the software that constitutes the “brain” and “muscles” of your hosting. So, what exactly do these licenses mean and why are they so important for the performance, security, and management of your website?

In this article, we will examine the important license types you frequently encounter in hosting and server environments (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, CloudLinux, Microsoft, and LiteSpeed) closely. We will also answer frequently asked questions that may come to your mind about licenses.

Why Is It So Important?

A license is a kind of permission that gives you the legal right to use a software. This permission allows you to use the software, access updates, and receive support under the conditions determined by the software developer. Using licensed software is not only a legal obligation, but also very important for the security, stability, and performance of your server.

What risks does using unlicensed software carry?

Imagine: You are in your busiest sales period or preparing for a campaign period. One night your website suddenly becomes inaccessible. You try to log into the server panel but the system has completely shut down because the license has expired. Your customers cannot reach your site. You contact your company’s support but find out you cannot get help due to unlicensed use. This scenario can not only cause business and time loss but also cause damage that is difficult to repair for your brand.

Unlicensed software can contain security vulnerabilities, may not receive updates, and finding support at critical moments can be much more difficult. Beyond all these, it can create legal liabilities against the software developer and distributor. Now let us examine the main license types we offer you as Netinternet in detail.

Management Panel Licenses

Control panels that allow you to easily manage your website and server are licensed software that allow you to manage your sites without being proficient in complex server commands.

Internet infrastructure is one of the cornerstones of modern life. Internet infrastructure plays a critical role in many areas from work life to entertainment, from education to daily communication. In this content, we will address the basic information you need to know about internet infrastructure.

Internet infrastructure is a combination of physical and digital systems that provide internet access. These systems include fiber optic cables, data centers, routers, and wireless network connections. This infrastructure carries data packets to all four corners of the world and ensures that these packets are transmitted quickly and reliably.

ADSL and VDSL: Classic Solutions of Internet Infrastructure

• ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line): ADSL is a technology that works over telephone lines. Although it was very common in the past, it is currently common mainly in rural and low-density areas. Internet speeds are limited compared to today’s needs.
• VDSL (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line): Faster than ADSL and especially preferred in city centers. Offers higher speeds over short distances but performance may decrease as the connection distance increases.

Fiber Internet: The Pinnacle of Infrastructure

Fiber internet is the most advanced technology used for internet connection. Data is transmitted through fiber optic cables via light signals. This provides extraordinary speed, low latency, and a stable connection.

Fiber Infrastructure Types and Comparisons

Fiber internet is offered with different infrastructure types. Each of these types varies according to the connection point and area of use.

Fiber Infrastructure Types

What is Hosting?

Hosting is the name given to the servers where the contents of websites are stored and published on the internet. Files, images, videos, and other content of a website are hosted on these servers to be accessible to users. Companies providing hosting services ensure that these files are accessible over the internet.

Some Hosting Services

Hosting services vary according to the operating system and the size/form of resources offered. For example:

• Linux Hosting: It is an ideal option for websites that prefer open source software and generally use technologies like PHP, MySQL, Perl. It also provides a suitable environment for popular content management systems (CMS) like WordPress.
  
• Windows Hosting: It is suitable for those developing websites using Microsoft technologies. It works compatibly with Microsoft products such as ASP.NET, .NET Framework, MSSQL Server. It is generally preferred for corporate websites and web applications. One of the biggest reasons it is preferred is that integrated Windows-based applications can work without problems.
  
• VPS Hosting: It is a transition point between shared hosting and dedicated server hosting. In a virtual space, the resources of a physical server are virtualized and divided into multiple virtual servers. Each VPS operates independently from other virtual servers and has dedicated server-like control resources. It is ideal for sites with moderate traffic and that need customizable resources.
  
• Dedicated Server: A hosting type where the entire server is allocated to a single customer. This allows the customer to have full control over the server and guarantees that resources are not shared with any other user. It is suitable for high-traffic, intensive websites and large-scale e-commerce platforms. It is also a preferred option for businesses with special security and performance requirements.

Understanding the technology behind them is important for optimizing your internet connection and solving possible problems.
⇥

First, Let Us Briefly Answer the Question “What is a Modem?”

The word modem is a combined abbreviation of the words “Modulator-Demodulator.” A modem converts between analog and digital signals to enable data communication. It allows you to connect to the data communication network of your internet service provider.
⇥

General Overview About Modem Lights and Their Meanings

The lights on modems are an important source of information for modem users, as each one represents different functions and connection states on the modem. Knowing the meanings of modem lights is important for monitoring internet connection performance and identifying possible problems.
⇥
Modems are generally equipped with lights for basic functions such as “power”, “DSL/ADSL”, “Internet”, “WLAN / WiFi” and “LAN Lights/Ethernet”, “WPS”. They can light up in different colors such as green, red, or orange and can blink. The blinking speed of these lights provides information about the status of a specific function on the modem.
⇥

Power Light

The modem’s power light is generally first among other lights, showing that the device is on and receiving power. A green light generally indicates that the modem is operational, while a red light indicates power problems, adapter issues, or modem failure. This light should be steadily green; a blinking power light can also indicate hardware problems.

DSL / ADSL Lights

These lights show the status of the modem’s DSL or ADSL connection. The DSL light reflects the status of the digital subscriber line (DSL or ADSL) connection between the modem and the internet service provider. A steady green light generally indicates a solid connection, while a blinking or red DSL light indicates connection problems.
⇥

Internet Light

The internet light on the modem is an important indicator about the status of the internet connection. If the internet light is steadily on, it indicates that the internet connection is working ideally. If this light is continuously blinking, it indicates that data flow is occurring through the modem, meaning there is active interaction on the internet. In cases where the internet connection is not available, the internet light may be red or may not light up at all.
⇥

WLAN / WiFi Lights

These lights show the availability of the wireless network connection. The WiFi light generally indicates that the wireless network is active and devices can connect wirelessly. In cases of fast blinking, it indicates that devices are connected to the wi-fi network and data flow is being provided. In other cases, this light generally appears in red/orange colors.
⇥

Ethernet (LAN) Lights

LAN lights on the modem are generally numbered 1-2-3.. and show the status of internet connections made with ethernet cable. Each light reflects the status of devices connected to an ethernet port. There is generally one light for each port and these lights show whether the internet connection of devices connected to them is active. A green light generally indicates an active connection, while a red light generally indicates a connection problem or an inactive port. An ethernet light that does not illuminate despite a cable connection can also indicate some hardware failures. Ethernet lights provide users with instant feedback to monitor the status of network connections and quickly identify problems.

WPS Lights

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a method designed to quickly add new devices to a wireless network and is easily configured using the WPS button. When using the WPS method to connect to the internet, users generally do not have to manually enter a password, but this situation can lead to some security issues. For this reason, some users prefer to disable WPS and protect their wireless networks with encryption methods. Additionally, it is known that some well-known technology manufacturers do not support WPS in their devices, thinking that connecting via WPS is not secure.

In short, how should modem lights appear for a healthy internet connection?

• Power Light: Should be green and steady.
  
• DSL/ADSL Light: Should be green and steady.
  
• Internet Light: Should be green, steady or blinking.
  
• WiFi Light: Should be green and blinking during active connection.
