Amber light - is it a problem? a 100/10Mbps
I have a RS700S and connected at Ethernet LAN port 4 is an OOMA phone device.
Concern:
Now, I receive a solid amber 4 on this port indicating that "Solid amber: The router detected a 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link with a powered-on device." (from user manual)
Configuation:
My 10GB LAN port is not being used and the other three LAN ports 1-3 are being used.
Status:
The OOMA phone is working great, better that before and all other ports and wireless is working great. My only concern is this amber light.
Question:
Should I just ignore the AMBER light or is this a problem? If there is a problem, how can I fix it?
The OOMA phone is working great, better that before and all other ports and wireless is working great. My only concern is this amber light.
The amber light is telling you the speed of the connection to the device plugged into that socket.
Move the device from port to port and the colour will change.
The manual explains what is happening.
"Solid amber: The router detected a 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link with a powered-on device."
Have you looked at the specifications for the LAN connection on the OOMA phone?
Many devices are designed for 100 Mbps. Even smart TVs happily work at that speed. For a phone, 100 Mbps is more than enough speed.
Just another user with time on their hands.
