What does a solid amber light on the lan port mean for a R6400 router

[NowRetired]

It is a R6400 router with Firmware V1.0.1.62_1.0.41. I have a cat 5 cable attached to a Win 10 All-In-One pc.  The Internet is working fine.  All my wireless ports are blinking blue.

Thanks everyone.  I have read the manual before I asked the question and missed the chart at the beginning.  Problem solved.

   Here's a radical concept which some people find informative:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for the
LED descriptions.  Further reading might not hurt, either.

   Is the cable known-good?  What does Windows have to say about that
Ethernet interface?

> [...] All my wireless ports are blinking blue.

   What's a "wireless port"?  What does Netgear call it?

While the manual is a good source of information, what you see is a general industry thing.

You will see the same colour coding on many Ethernet connections.On switches for example.

Amber = 100 Mbps, Green = 1000 Mbps.

   So, better to assume than to read?

   "many" and "all" are spelled differently for a reason.

   10Mb/s?  10Gb/s?

   The world would have been a better place without that "contribution".
