I fixed the problem that I was having where the device would not go into the console or show up in the cloud. But I am still having the problem with the blinking LED. Although everything else is working so I guess this isn't that big of a deal.
For anyone who is wondering, I fixed the connectivity issues by connecting the device through serial. Then I downloaded the latest version of the firmware and installed with the option of factory reset. Then I went into the setup config, went through the steps and now it is working! If anyone has any questions let me know.
