Red light on AC1750 Model R6400
I have this an older AC1750 - R6400 router and have two devices plugged directly into it. One of the direct plugins has a solid red light although it is working perfectly. How do I eliminate the red light as I am concerned it will become problematic.
Please advise.

Whats plugged into it? usually the red/amber light indicates its connection is a 10/100mbps and not gigabit.

Thank you for the reply. I simply ran the cat5e cable directly from the router to a TCL Smart TV rather than using the wifi connection. Everything is working fine, but I am concerned about the red light. Any other insights are greatly appreciated.

What tv is it?
Most tv's aren't gigabit.
Again, if the device its connecting to isn't gigabit, it connects as a 10/100mbps connection and so will show amber/red.
