MR60 of MK62 always showing orange light
Hi, I am using an MK62, in which MR60 is directly connected with the Gateway, and MS60 is the satellite. The MR60 and MS60 are in sync. blue light is on MS60 while it is always orange light on MR60....
Hello Guys, I just Found out what was the problem.
It was due to DNS Server problem.
To solve this do the following :
1. Connect your laptop with ethernet cable from the ethernet port of MR60 (main router with 2 RJ45 port.
2. Goto http://www.routerlogin.net in your laptop
3. You will be asked to enter the router Login Credentials. By default it will be Username - "admin", and Password - "admin"
4. Goto Basic ->Internet ->Domain Name Server(DNS) Address
5 Click on "Use these DNS servers"
6. Set Google DNS, that is, set Primary DNS as 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS as 8.8.4.4
7. Click on Apply.
The Light on your main Router will change to BLUE
Thank You.

Curious: What DNS settings used to be in place before? Usually, the provider does bring the DNS server IPs by DHCP, PPPoE, ... It's correct the Netgear routers does indicate amber (orange if you prefer) as long as the built-in connection check does have an issue.
