What does a solid amber light on the lan port mean for a R6400 router
It is a R6400 router with Firmware V1.0.1.62_1.0.41. I have a cat 5 cable attached to a Win 10 All-In-One pc. The Internet is working fine. All my wireless ports are blinking blue.
Thanks everyone. I have read the manual before I asked the question and missed the chart at the beginning. Problem solved.

Here's a radical concept which some people find informative:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the
LED descriptions. Further reading might not hurt, either.> [...] I have a cat 5 cable attached to a Win 10 All-In-One pc. [...]
Is the cable known-good? What does Windows have to say about that
Ethernet interface?> [...] All my wireless ports are blinking blue.
What's a "wireless port"? What does Netgear call it?
Thanks everyone. I have read the manual before I asked the question and missed the chart at the beginning. Problem solved.

While the manual is a good source of information, what you see is a general industry thing.
You will see the same colour coding on many Ethernet connections.On switches for example.
Amber = 100 Mbps, Green = 1000 Mbps.
