In my observation, LAN, Wi-Fi and Internet light flashes whenever it is being used. Particularly when my PC is connected via LAN while playing/downloading, I noticed that LAN light flashes everytime there an ongoing activity.
It is possible that the modem/router's light specially the home phone liight indicator is different from the actual Modem Guide by TP-Link since TPG supplied a modem/router with a modified firmware.

The modem indicator lights are sometimes on and sometimes off even when the respective function is active. For example, the Power light may be either on or off even when power is connected and the modem is operating with the phone being used or internet being accessed. Or, the Internet light may be either on or off even when the internet is being used. Or, a LAN light may be either on or off when a computer connected to the respective port is turned off. Or, the Phone light may be on when the phone is on the hook or off when the phone is off the hook. The Phone indicator light has sometimes been flashing, a mode not mentioned in the the user guide. While I am posting this question the Power, Internet and WAN lights are off.
Please explain. Can we have a modem that means what it indicates?
Kind regards.
