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.

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".
