Netgear 7500v2 WAN port LED blinking AMBER but everything seems fine
Hello, I have a Netgear 7500V2 router, it always worked normally but lately the WAN port ( the Internet port) is blinking Amber. I can test Internet speeds and I get 920Mpbs down and 900Mbps up ...
I just did a Hardware reset - used the backup file and everything seems to be working fine.
The WAN(Internet) LED is blinking white (as all other LEDs on the router) - All my network is Gigabit including the Internet access.
I basically connect the Gigabit Modem/Router from AT&T to may Netgear WAN port - then connect my Network Switch to one of the Ports in my Netgear router.
The 7500v2 had a much better coverage then the 7800 and the Asus RT-88U - I love this router! I wish we could have that same level of WIFI coverage + Port Aggregation + Port Mirroring in a recent version of this router and none of that other bunch of BS that they are usually coming with.
Anyway, thanks :-)
Here is what the user manual has listed
Solid white. The Internet connection is ready.
• Solid amber. The router detected an Ethernet cable connection to the modem.
• Off. No Ethernet cable is connected between the router and the modem.
I'm guessing its just a small bug if you are seeing no performance issues.
