XR450 Internet LED blinking white
We've had our Nighthawk XR450 since May 2020 and it has worked well. We have recently had issues with Netflix (basically informed us that download speeds were too slow) and Apple devices continually buffering. These are new issues so I tried resetting the router and the modem. While working with the router, I noticed that the 'Internet' LED does not remain solid as described in the owners manual. It stays solid for few second and then begins blinking. I believe that means it is losing its connection with the modem/internet. Correct? If that is the case, can the connection be fixed or is the router failing and it's time to get a new outer?

- I'd first suggest you change the ethernet cable between the XR and the modem and see if that resolves it
So sorry. I failed to mention that I already changed that cable and nothing changed. Any other suggestions?
- Are you actually noticing the connection going down/being disconnected or does it just appear to be the LED going out?
