What does a solid amber light on the lan port mean for a R6400 router
It is a R6400 router with Firmware V1.0.1.62_1.0.41. I have a cat 5 cable attached to a Win 10 All-In-One pc. The Internet is working fine. All my wireless ports are blinking blue.
Not sure I can offer much help other than..remove all cables from it, and power it up, after 5 minutes what do you see in terms of lights? Still just the Power LED flashing?
If so, sounds like the flash memory could be the culprit...not much that could be done if it's failing other than RMA ...

Thanks everyone. I have read the manual before I asked the question and missed the chart at the beginning. Problem solved.
While the manual is a good source of information, what you see is a general industry thing.
You will see the same colour coding on many Ethernet connections.On switches for example.
Amber = 100 Mbps, Green = 1000 Mbps.

So, better to assume than to read?

"many" and "all" are spelled differently for a reason.

10Mb/s? 10Gb/s?
The world would have been a better place without that "contribution".
