USB 2.0 LED light Amber with no usb device plugged in
I recently changed ISPs from Charter to WOW and I noticed my USB 2.0 LED light is solid Amber, but there isn’t a device plugged into the router. Doesn’t affect internet or WiFi, just curious as to what could cause this.

_Which_ LED? The one above the "USB 2.0" label, or the one below it?
That picture's pretty bad, but it looks to me as if the (reddish?) amber LED is the "LAN 1" indicator, which would be consistent with a slow (10/100MHz) device being at the other end of the Ethernet cable which is clearly connected to the "LAN 1" port.

Re: USB 2.0 LED light Amber with no usb device plugged in
I was reading the labels incorrectly. It was the LAN 1 LED light, which would make sense since I have my PS4 wired into that port and it was in sleep mode, indicating the 10/100mhz speed. Thank you for pointing that out.
