LAN 10G LED is red but internet seems to be working fine.

Cable is good. Any suggestions about why LED is red? I have a Nighthawk RS700  BE 19000 wifi 7 Router, firmware V1.0.9.16_2.0.106.  Should I just ignore the red LED?

Any chance the LED could be Amber?

FWIW, I often find that Amber LEDs look Red in some lighting conditions.

 

Like CrimpOn​, I am thinking that the device connected to this port doesn't support 10G. If so, that is not a problem, just an expected status.
