Hello Friends,
I connected two external devices via ethernet cable to my ports 3 and 4 (a TV and a Roku player). Both devices seem to pull decent speeds, no delays noticed right now, but the lights on the router are orange/amber and not white. Why is that happening?
Thanks for your help.

Perhaps for the reason explained in the documentation. Visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "LED and button
descriptions".
The LED color indicates the speed: white for Gigabit Ethernet
connections and amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps Ethernet
connections.
Additional reading might be beneficial, too.

You can get the same effect on one port from a device with a gigabit
interface when it's in a stand-by (sleep, "off", ...) mode. A typical
gigabit Ethernet interface in stand-by mode will run at a sub-gigabit
speed (using less power). When the device turns active, it will
negotiate a higher (gigabit) speed.

I have a sub 100Mbps speed running 24/7 so it makes sense that the lights would be amber and not white! I assumed something was wrong, but everything is all righth.
