Netgear C6300 ambar upstream light.
Due to renovation I had to move the router. It is now on a splitter together with the TV. The the "Up Stream" LED stays solid amber. Internet doesn't work neither does my Vonage phone. This morning I moved it temporarily back to the old location - on the second floor -, every thing is fine. Comcast comes in at the basement and the TV is on the first floor. Could that be due to a weak signal at the TV and would a signal amplifier help?

Hello dknaggert
Yes you could be correct I would have comcast send someone out to check the signal on the new outlet.

Didn't help crap...Has to be the Netgear.........Unreal they won't help...Guess my business will go elsewhere...Sad as i buy routers for business with over 100K employees.......Oh well their loss.........

In my case I found a solution to the problem. I checked by logging into 192.168.0.1 to find out which channels are crowded and switched to Channel 3 - every thing o.k. now
- JodyApprenticeI'm guessing your talking about the wireless channels.
Mine in set at 11 on the 2.4mz and 149 on the 5mz.
I did change the 11 to a 1 but didn't notice a difference. It is a shame Netgear hasn't jumped in to help with this. I noticed several folks having the same issue.
Thank you! - JodyApprentice
