The color of the light indicates the connection speed. White represents Gigabit and amber represents either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If your PC has a Gigabit Ethernet port, then you should verify that it's set to Gigabit mode. Else, check your Ethernet cable or try a different router port.
I've had a Ethernet cable that would only connect at 100 Mbps.
