Modem CM700 Ethernet light is blinking orange/flickering orange.
Is this an issue? All of the lights are solid green besides that one and I have internet connection. Just want to know if this is an issue or will I continue to get steady connection?

the Linksys E5350 doesn't have gigabit ports. Only 10/100mbps ports.
You'd need to upgrade to a gigabit router for faster speeds.

Sorry, got this a bit late. What did you go with?
- kkesterJan 28, 2022TutorLinksys Dual Band Wifi 6 Router AX5400, made sure it had 1 gigabit capability and is working great. Orange light that was previously on on my modem is now green.

Glad it took care of the issue! if you mark it solved, it'll help others with the issue (and keeps others from trying to fix it further)
