Netgear Wireless-N Dual Band Router

Why is my Ethernet LED blinking green? It’s preventing me from connecting to my wifi network on my Xbox One.

    Hi anthony,

    The blinking green LED on the ethernet port is normal. It means that it has a Gigabit Ethernet connection. Please refer to the link below for the kb guide of LED meaning. Is your router to the current firmware? If so, did you do a factory reset after the update? Have you checked the configurations on the xbox side? can other devices connect to the router?
     

     

    Ethernet LEDs

    The LED color indicates the speed: white or green for Gigabit Ethernet connections and amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps Ethernet connections.

    • Off. No device is connected to this Ethernet port.
    • Solid. A powered-on device is connected to the Ethernet port.
    • Blinking. The port is sending or receiving traffic.
