Hello, I’ve just replaced my old router with the Nighthawk ac1900, though it is working ok it’s not giving any better range than my old internet suppliers router but my main problem is two amber lights on two Ethernet ports one supplying an arlo camera base station & the other an O2 signal booster. I have change the Ethernet cable on one of the devices but didn’t make any difference. Any help would be much appreciated.
The Arlo base station Ethernet is 10/100 so it will show amber. Just a FYI, the USB is USB2. Arlo says no more speed needed. Have not had any issues with mine. Does feel like they are being cheap, but if it works then no worrries. Not like you are looking for some high speed performance, it is just pushing video clips to WEB and USB drive if you are using a drive.
if connected and working and you get amber, it means the device(s) operate at 100 or 10 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps. This is nomal indicator of the router so nothing to worry
"AC1900" is a speed, not a model number. Ever helpful, Netgear product packaging emphasizes speeds like "ACxxxx", but that's not the model identifier. Look at the product label.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for the description of the LED indicators, and what the colors mean.

Also not model numbers.

Unless it's caused by a bad cable, rather than by a slow device. Gigabit speed uses all eight conductors; 10/100MHz needs only four.
