Ive had this happen twice with my RAX50. Both times after a power outage and the modem and router both lost power for a second.
The router had a red intenet light on but had full internet access. I just rebooted the router and the internet light went back to white and everything is good.

Yes the red light does not appear to be service affecting. It came on after a reboot and after waiting a day it went out. The netgear PDF User guide does not reference any red light status for the internet light.
• Solid white. The Internet connection is ready.
• Blinkingwhite.Theportissendingorreceivingtraffic.
• Off.NoEthernetcableisconnectedbetweentherouterandthemodem.Seems like Netgear needs both a firmware update and an update to the PDF.
