Multiple people in the Linksys forums seem to have the same problem:

Note that one post seemed to consider this device as 'old' in 2008'.
QUESTION: You purchased the BEFSR41 to support routing to the new
machines along with the old machine, correct? The red light is on the
DSL modem according to the first post. I guess that modem only has a
singleLAN port? What leads you to believe the problem is with the
router and not the modem?
Cheers,

Well, before I hooked up the router, it never did this before. The only
time the light was red before was when they were reseting the box up the
road or my puter was turned off. Since the only thing that changed was the
router, I sort of figure it has something to do with it. I have had this
DSL for over a year so I would think it would have did something weird by
now.
If it does it again, I'm going to hook my puter back up straight to the
modem and see if it works then. That should rule out any changes up the
road somewhere and the modem.
I'm going to read up on the links you posted.
Yeah, makes sense.
I use a LinkSys WRT54G for my Cable Modem ISP and a 327W for my DSL
line. The only time I've had problems like you suggest were:
1) The ISP was having trouble. WIth Comcast this can go on for weeks at a time.
2) The unit was bad.
In the case of #2 replacing it fixed things right up.
Good luck,
Mark
I think it is a setting or something and I just can't fine it. I have
clicked about everything I can think of to find something but no luck so
far. I hope the IP passthrough thing will work. I hope anyway.
