Red light as opposed to a white light on Nighthawk Router

Hi I have plugged my TP Link Adaptor into my router and the light is red as opposed to white. Can anybody help me solve this please?

 

Thank you

      Hi I believe I have solved the problem. I don't think my ethernet cables are supportive of the TP links. The Router model Number is AC1900 D7000. The TP lInks re TL-WPA4220 KIT

        the tp-link's are only 10/100 mbps connectors. If you're talking about the ethernet led, it'll light up to reflect this speed and not gigabit.
