The lights on the front of the Slingbox can tell you many things, including when you may need to adjust your Slingbox setup.

The Network and Power lights are on

The Slingbox is working properly and is currently streaming video.

The Sling Logo light is on

The Sling Logo light looks like the image below.

When it's on, your Slingbox is functioning properly.

The Network and Power lights are on

The Slingbox is properly connected to your network/router and is powered on, but not streaming video.

The Network light is blinking

A blinking network light means that the Slingbox has not received a valid IP address from your router. The Slingbox needs its own IP address (a unique network number provided by your network router) to work within your home network.

Solution: A quick fix is often simply verify that the Slingbox is connected to your router and follow that with a reset of your Slingbox. To reset your Slingbox, press the Reset button on the back of the Slingbox, then wait to see if the light stops blinking. (Note: resetting your Slingbox will erase all settings and restore it to factory condition.)
