CBR 750 Router LED ring color
After my CBR 750 router boots up, the pulsating white LED ring turns to a solid white ring. It will not progress past a solid white ring. The is no internet connection.
The manual does not say white a sold white LED ring means.
Does anyone know what a solid white LED ring on the CBR 750 router means?
How do I get past this and connect to the internet?
Thanks

Were it not so sad, it would almost be funny that Netgear never describes the meaning of the Ring LED in the User Manual, except for this:
Chapter 10 of the User Manual describes troubleshooting the internet connection:
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/CBK752/CBK750_UM_EN.pdfBoth the User Manual and the Installation Guide mention a requirement for the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to activate the cable modem on their system. Have you talked to them?

p.s. on other Orbi routers, the ring light has specific meanings:

If this is a new purhase, it might be worth taking advantage of the 90 days of "complimentary support" and talk to Netgear.
