blinking amber ethernet light
This is my second modem from netgear and this is the second dead modem. Both modems have the same problem occuring, the moment i buy them they are fine then around 2 months later they start doing thi...
I have a google onhub and a R6400v2. Both on new cat6. I've switched between both routers many times and they have the same problems. Even a direct connection to my pc form the modem causes the same issue.
Looking at the user manual on the CM modem to check LED behaviors: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/CM700/CM700_UM_EN.pdf
Ethernet
• Green. A powered-on device is connected to the Ethernet port at 1000 Mbps.
• Amber. A powered-on device is connected to the Ethernet port at 10/100 Mbps. <<<<<
• Blinking green or amber. The Ethernet port is processing traffic. <<<<<
• Off. No device is connected to the Ethernet port.
Yes i know all of this already, i've done some research already. I was just having one last glimpse of hope for this modem to actually start being useful again. But i guess not, thank you anyways.
Other than this, is the CM modem working?
Yeah it works, i just bought a new cat 6 cable today and plugged both router and modem and it greenlit but speeds were still very low so I reset but now it wont go back to green light again. So now i know that it can even switch back to that channel, but I havent pinpointed the circumstances in which it does.
