RAX 20 bug (internet works, but LED is solid amber)
Hello, I've experienced this odd bug where the internet status LED is stuck on solid amber while the internet works fine (after the network hickup it experienced). It's very very unfortunate ...
Great, it's a mess. Here's a link to the pictures hosted on imgur.
you're pulling a 192.168.2.* address.
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
It is a KPN Box 12 modem/router from my ISP.
That device is a gateway/router all in one device.
do you have it in passthrough/modem only mode?
Or the netgear in access point mode?
Or the netgears IP address in the KPN's DMZ?
Otherwise you're in a double nat. It can cause issues with the led/internet status.
Unfortunately, the modem has no option for a modem only mode, and from the KPN forums, it's not an option either.
I disabled the modem's WiFi and reserved the internal IP for the netgear router. Only the netgear router is connected to the modem. The WiFi TV box is connected to the netgear router (gladly it works fine).
The netgear router is not in AP mode (since I don't want to deal with the ISP modem for port forwarding and what not).
