The Status and Wireless lights are flashing red on the front of the Genie 2.  Why?  Everything seems to be working fine.

Hi, @christym. Good question. The flashing red light indicates that the software update download failed. Please restart Genie 2 for a quick fix. Maria, DIRECTV Community Specialist

How to restart?  Just unplug power cord?

There is a red button near the base and the coax.

Yes, and wait for 15 seconds before you plug it back in. Maria, DIRECTV Community Specialist
