LED blinking AMBER
Hi one of the channel leds blinking amber, channel 1? Any idea why? Wifi and internet working fine:)

Hi.Update, i figured it out why one of my ports turned amber when pc was turned of. Advice from a Danish forum told me to go to device manager/adapter card/power management and untick box " allow this computer to turn off unit to save power" Don't know if this is the right term in English but you know what it means:) Now the light is pure white turned off and on:)

Well done Sherlock.
Is that something you did in Windows?

One of those settings buried in the depths. In reality it probably doesn't achieve much beyond leaving the light on and perhaps using up a tiny amount of power. The fact that the light showed orange before means that you probably could have used the port to "wake up on LAN".
