Why does my Regal Adapter VLink Wireless Connection LED blink twice and then stay off?

  If the VLink Wireless Connection LED blinks twice and then stays OFF for 3 seconds, repeating this pattern, it means that the incorrect password was entered when trying to connect the VLink to your Home Wireless Network. To fix this, reconnect the VLink to the Home Wireless Network using either the Wi-Fi or WPS methods, and make sure to re-enter the correct wireless password in the network window.

  If the VLink Wireless Connection LED is not illuminated, the possible causes are: * The home router is off-line. Check its status and restore power if needed. * The VLink disconnected from the Home Wireless Network. Re-connect it via Wi-Fi or WPS methods. * The SSID entered into the VLink app was not valid. Retry the VLink connection setup and re-enter a valid SSID for your home network.

How to troubleshoot a Regal Adapter when the power LED is not on?
- J
  jacob18Aug 26, 2025
  If the power LED is not illuminated on the VLink, even though power is applied to the motor, there could be several reasons: 1. The power supply cables are loose at the motor or VLink RS-485 connector. Check and tighten the connections at both ends of the cable. 2. The dip switch settings on the motor are incorrect. For VGreen 165 motors, set switch 1 to the ON position. For VGreen 270 motors, set both switches 1 and 2 to the ON position. 3. The VLink is damaged. In this case, you should replace the VLink.

- C
  Courtney PriceAug 27, 2025
  If the VLink Wireless Connection LED blinks once every two seconds (ON one second, then OFF one second), it signifies that the VLink has disconnected from the Home Wireless Network and is now in Wi-Fi connect mode. To resolve this, reconnect the VLink to the Home Wireless Network via the Wi-Fi method as described in the quick start guide or user manual. Also, do not attempt to connect to a 5GHz band wireless connection.

  If the VLink Wireless Connection LED blinks once every second (ON a 1/2 second, then OFF a 1/2 second), it means that the VLink has disconnected from the Home Wireless Network and is now in WPS connect mode. To fix this, reconnect the VLink to the Home Wireless Network using the WPS method as described in the quick start guide or user manual. Make sure not to connect to a 5GHz band wireless connection.

  If you encounter a “Motor Fault: Ill Formed Packet” error, it could be due to: * Loose power supply cables at the motor or VLink RS-485 connector. Check and tighten these connections. * Incorrectly installed power supply cables in the RS-485 connectors. Verify each connector end to ensure the wires are in the correct slot.
