Retired_Memberis correct. When the Orbi is operating correctly, it displays no light. I believe Netgear (correctly) assumed that customers would not want something lighting up their bedrooms. This is normal.
As far as the "Speedtest". My guess is that the app is asking the Orbi to run a SpeedTest and reporting the results. This is independent of the device being used to run the app. If you want a measure of the speed to a device, it is better to run a SpeedTest app on the device itself and not use the app. You can load an app, or open a web browser on the device to:
- Fast.com
- Speedtest.net
- SpeedOf.Me
