CM500 ethernet blinking green
Hello,
My ethernet light keeps blinking green at all times when I connect a router to the internet port. I have tried buying a new router because originally I thought it was the router but that has not worked. I have a coax cable connecting the modem into the wall port (but to be fair i’m not sure if there is a right type of coax cable i should have for wall use). I have tried resetting the modem, resetting the router, resetting both at the same time, turning them off and on and waiting, etc. I’m lost.

As per the CM500 High Speed Cable Modem User Manual Ethernet: Blinking green or amber is processing traffic Nothing uncommon that fr.
Anything that does not work as expected?
