Solid Amber Light

Hi,
I am having difficulty with a solid amber light burning continuously on my router.
Yesterday I added a Sengled Hub to control my Smart bulbs. No problems with adding the hub. However, after a few minutes I got a solid amber light on my router.
The Sengled hub cable is in port 1. The amber light is on the front of the router #1.
Everything else works correctly. (My modem is Arris by Xfinity.)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

As per the fine documentation, p.14 Table 2. LED and button descriptions (Continued):
Ethernet ports 1–4
The LED color indicates the speed: white for Gigabit Ethernet connections and amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps Ethernet connections.
• Solid white or solid amber. A powered-on device is connected to the Ethernet port.
• Blinking white or blinking amber. Data is being transmitted over the port.
• Off. No powered-on device is connected to the Ethernet port.

They probably went cheap on the Ethernet connection. My Netgear Arlo camera base is a 100Mbps connection and gives a orange light indicating 10/100. No more traffic then these will create to the Internet, a 10/100 Ethernet connection is fine.

Re: Solid Amber Light
Thank you so much for your help. I didn’t realize that the amber light was okay. The router is several years old and I couldn’t find the manual anywhere. Thanks for sending me the info.

Re: Solid Amber Light
Great! Unfortunatley this amber LED is kind of an industry standard to indicate the lower negotiated link Speed (typically because the connected device/switch/cable does not allow more). And indeed it looks "worng" for many consumers.
