Internet light is amber but the internet works
The internet light randomly turned amber and the internet did not work. But with some tweaking I got the internet back working, however the internet light is still amber. How is that even possible? Am I using wireless data from my ISP? (Verizon Fios) Should I be concerned that the light is amber but the internet works?
To check the WAN IP address:
1. Start your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com.
2. Access the router interface at www.routerlogin.net.
3. Click the ADVANCED tab.
4. Check that an IP address is shown for the Internet port.
If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router did not obtain an IP address from your ISP. and you're NOT connected.

An IP address is shown for the internet port. The light actually just turned white as well. So I guess I am good to go now. Thank you for replying to me.
