netgear cm400, US/DS lights were amber, now green?

So I've had this modem for almost a year (march 2017) and the upstream and downstream lights have always been solid amber when the internet was working, but now suddenly, all the lights are solid green.
Are the lights supposed to be amber or green? Internet seems to be working great(previously I had periods of constant outages, but I had that with my old modem also) but its probably too soon to say I won't have issues again. Any input on why the sudden change in the lights, is it a good change or bad?
Thanks!

   Probably.  Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model
number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.

   Ask your (unspecified) ISP?

> [...] is it a good change or bad?

   Which sounds better to you, "One channel is locked" or "Two or more
channels are locked"?
