Orange light on nighthawk model ax43
Hello! Just set up my router and the internet light is orange (second light right). Why is that and how can i fix it. Thanks
Orange indicates 100 Mbps speed instead of 1 Gbps. What's yoour modem? which router do you actually have?
Thanks for the quick reply. My modem is from my ISP and there is nothing written on it just a black box.
I just bought and installed the Nighthawk model AX42

Your title says AX43 but now you say AX42. Which is it?
Most likely your modem operates at 100 Mbps or if not, your cable is faulty or not CAT5e or higher
- Oops, typo, its a 42 sorry
Whats CAT5e?CAT5e is the type of the cable. CAT5e can provide a maximum of 1 Gbps speeds. CAT6 and CAT7 provide far higher speeds. So if you have 1 Gbps connection, you need at least CAT5e cable, preferrably CAT6
