Continuous Amber Upstream light
Model C6300v2 My modem was working flawlessly, all green lights, until 30 min ago, when I had to unplug it to see if I could connect my HP printer/scanner. Printer working; scanner stopped. I also h...
Interesting. I just started having the same problem on my C7000v2 modem/router on Spectrum's system which seemed to work fine for the first 2 or 3 weeks but now I'm wondering if there is a problem. The Upstream LED on the front panel of the device is amber instead of the expected green. I can reboot the device but inevitably within a day or two it will return to its amber color. It is not blinking.
The device's internal HTML support (192.168.0.1) doesn't show any malfunction that I'm aware of. It shows Cable connection as GOOD and the Advanced tab seems to indicate all normal functions. My speed performance is around 400 Mbps Down and about 10 Mbps Up. I can't really complain about the device's performance but the amber light tells me that something is not the way it should be.
One other thing that bothers me but I'm not enough of any kind of expert to know if this is normal and that is the amount of uncorrectables on the bonded downstream channels. See the attached image.
What's going on?
Not sure what's going on with yours, but mine returned to green when the power went out and the box restarted when the power came back on. Maybe keep the box unplugged longer? I've owned a prior version of a Netgear router and never had that issue.
