Yes, speed related. You printer comes with a 100 Mbps network chip. When such a device is connected to a current NETGEAR router, the router will indicate it with Amber light.
I also have a printer and a few other devices with a 100 Mbps chip and they also show amber light when connected. Nothing to worry about. It's even in the documentation of your router... google your router's model for documentation and read if you're worried
thank you very much. excellent solution and it works. john8
