Internet LED blinking AMBER

Everything went smooth when TWC came to setup my service, router setup was also a breeze. Well, the other day the power went out for about 15-20 mins. When the power came back on I noticed the routers Internet LED light was blinking Amber. I have disconnected the modem and router for about 1-2 minutes then plugged in modem first, once all lights are up, plugged in router but the Internet LED is still blinking Amber. I DO have Internet connection and it is still fast and responsive.
What can I do to fix this blinking Amber light and get it back to normal? Should I even be worried about this, since I still have a solid connection?
Thank you!

Hi @jgold218,
1. What is the model number of your device?
2. Please make sure that your computer is able to go online when connected straight to the Comcast modem.
3. The amber Internet light indicates that there is no Internet access.
4. If you computer is able to go online when connected to the modem, you can try MAC spoofing. The link below may help out.

Re: Internet LED blinking AMBER
try a different cable blinking orange may mean the connection is 10~100 not 1000m
Login to router status to view the connections

Re: Internet LED blinking AMBER
Blinking IS not a problem! Blinking means data is passing through router
Amber Means 10~100 which is also Not a problem, I asked you check the status of WAN port which you did not. The wan port could be connecting at 10~100 because of a modem issue.
You can test the ports by running a cable from WAN to LAN and then power cycle the WAN should light up solid white.
Since you have service Focus on the modem reset it. Depending on your service level your ISP may have switched the WAN port to 10~100 These changes will appear when the modem is reset if that's the case. Connect a pc with a gigabyte lan card see what it connects at when connecting to modem port.

Does the amber blinking light mean there is no wifi connection?
