Is this an issue? All of the lights are solid green besides that one and I have internet connection. Just want to know if this is an issue or will I continue to get steady connection?

Linksys Dual Band Wifi 6 Router AX5400, made sure it had 1 gigabit capability and is working great. Orange light that was previously on on my modem is now green.

What is the brand and model of the host wifi router connected to the modem? The ethernet LED should indicate "Green" for 1000Mpbs and If it's "Amber" then it maybe indicating a 100Mpbs connection with your external wifi router or the computer you have connected to it. Review the user manual to see what the LED behaviors are for the modem.

Review the specs sheet for that model router if this is the one you have: https://downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/datasheet/e5400-router-ac1200-datasheet-upd-eng.pdf

Are you implying that I need to get a better router? I’m sorry, I’m new to all of this.
