They are white.
Appreciation to everyone who pondered this. The problem was with the cable provider's modem that I had the X10 connected to. I'm almost pleased that I had this problem because in fixing it, I was reminded that the recent iPhone X I got is 5G capable, and I wasn't connected to the Nighthawk's 5G network.
Thanks again.
Maybe it was down to the order in which things started. I have seen this after a power cut. The modem just connects too late, after the router has kicked in.
After a power cut be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
That was the order of "reboot" that I performed, but apparently didn't leave the cable company's modem unplugged for long enough.
