    Wow. more info is needed.

    1. what is your router model?

    2. what firmware is on it? 

    3. what extender do you have? 

    4. what firmware is on them? 

    5. What actual light is it? Most extenders have several lights. So look up the manual and what led it is. it'll also tell you what it means. 

     

    A little better description helps to. Yours is pretty vague and not very specific and is about leds. 

    so go over that and if its actually causing an issue and what that issue is. 

     

    There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.
