Applies to: DIRECTV WVB2 and wireless Genie Mini/compatible clients; not a home Wi-Fi router or a dish alignment procedure. U.S. satellite installation.
Match your symptom
| What you see | What to do next |
|---|---|

| Solid red | Server is connected but wireless client link is poor. |
| Blinking red | Device error; record the state and ask DIRECTV. |
Work through these checks
Check the main Genie and bridge
Confirm the main Genie has a working channel. Check WVB2 power and safely accessible cable plugs. Keep the WVB2 upright as its manual directs. If the Genie itself reports 771, follow satellite-signal troubleshooting; client-only errors 614–616 point to the home connection.
What the result means: A working main Genie separates the room-link problem from satellite reception.
Follow LED and on-screen result
Compare the actual LED with the official WVB2 chart. For 614, 615 or 616, follow the TV prompts. DIRECTV allows a short press of the red Reset button on the Genie or bridge if present; tell other viewers first because it can interrupt service for 5–10 minutes. Do not hold reset or erase settings as an initial step.
What the result means: If the same LED/error returns, record it for DIRECTV instead of repeated resets.
When to stop and get help
Stop for damaged power wiring, water or inaccessible coax. Do not open WVB2 or alter the SWiM/MoCA installation. For blinking red or persistent 614–616, use DIRECTV support with the LED and client details.
What to tell support
WVB2 model and LED color, Genie live-channel result, Mini/Gemini model, exact 614/615/616 message, power/cable check and any reset result.
Common questions
Is WVB2 the home Wi-Fi router?
No. DIRECTV describes a private wireless distribution link from Genie to wireless Genie Mini clients. Its light colors diagnose that path, not ordinary phone or laptop Wi-Fi.
