Theres BLUE when the RBR connects then turns OFF or ON with Magenta solid if the RBR looses the connection to the modem or the modem fails to give an IP address to the RBR. I'll have NG review this article and get it updated.What is the CAT# of the cable in between the modem and RBR?

Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
