RAX200 Orange wan light after rebooting it along with CM2000 via GUI
Hello All, I have a strange issue. I've rebooted my new RAX200/CM2000 together via GUI and my RAX200 has an orange light for wan. The only way to get to get it back to white is rebooting my CM20...
No, I have not tried that yet. I'll try it now and let you know the results.

Have you tried powering both off, then powering up the cm2000 and giving it a couple minutes and then powering on the rax?
I've just tried this and let the CM2000 boot up first and let it go online and then restart my my RAX200 after that and the same thing happened with the wan light going orange again. Only way I could fix it is to get the CM2000 to reboot and it went white after the first 10 seconds.

Usually you have to boot up the modem first. Interesting that it works that way with your device.
wonder if its a function of using the 2.5g port on it.
Does it do the same if the router is connected through the 1gig wan port?
It doesn't matter which port I use. I've tried it on the multi-gig 2.5g/1g port and the internet port and the same behavior exists.

Hate to say it but so long as it works, I wouldn't worry about it.
Makes it a bit of a pain when power dies/flickers but if it bothers you enough, pick up a cheap UPS to prevent that from being an issue.
