Netgear D7000

My D7000 Nighthawk internet light continuously flashes amber. Was solid white for one day, now flashing. Internet works. Any advice? The unit is also very warm. Is this normal?

Are you seeing any internet issues?

Flashing = traffic.

There is a manual for the D7000 somewhere at the end of this link:

>>> D7000 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<

Check the section "Troubleshoot With the LEDs".

   And "amber" = what, exactly?

   According to the D7000[v1] User Manual, the Internet LED
possibilities are:

      o Solid white. The modem router detected an Internet connection.

      o Solid amber. The modem router is not connected to a DSL, cable,
        or fiber modem, or the modem router did not detect an Internet
        connection.
        For more information, see Troubleshoot the Internet Connection
        on page 279.

      o Blinking white. Data is being transmitted over the Internet
        connection.

      o Alternating white and amber. The traffic meter is enabled and
        the traffic limit is reached.

      o Off. The modem router cannot connect to the Internet or the
        Internet connection failed. For more information, see Internet
        LED Is Off on page 280.

   I don't see "flashes amber" in that list.  Who do you want to
believe, the User Manual, or your own lying eyes?

   "very warm" is not a well-defined quality/quantity.  Mine is barely
above ambient.  Do you have any USB devices connected to it?
