USB LED (AX10 router)
I've connected a hub for my security cameras and the USB LED is slowly blinking red. The hub is connected via LAN cable. What have I not done that is causing the red light?

Which router do you own? AX10 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.

The label shows AX1800. Model RAX10.
You gave a bunch of generic information.
Plus you put you installed a hub with a usb port but then that its connected via lan cable.
What did you actually install. A model helps more than generics
What router are you connecting it to?
What is connected to the usb port that is blinking red?

The cable is an ethernet cable. It connects a hub for security cameras. The router is an AX1800. Model EAX10. Are all of your replies this insulting?

For LAN ports, flashing usually means traffic.
What is that hub? Brand? Is it talking to the cameras over wifi? Or are they also wired?

What is it? EAX devices are a wifi extenders, not routers. Your previous message said RAX10. That's a router.
Where does the USB come in to this? Is that an LED on the router?
What is insulting about asking for details?
I hope you don't find my questions offensive. Troubleshooting depends on understanding what is going on in a network in as much detail as possible.
