On a new computer using Ethernet cable from computer to extender the port light flashes green and connection is fine. Is this correct? Old computer with same hook up flashed solid green, just curious
Your text isn't entirely clear I assume the 'old computer' did not flash?
If you are referring to the computer end of the interface then the indication at LAN cards / Motherboard LAN ports can vary. Personally I prefer to see the interface flash when there is activity.
Sorry Andy I think you misunderstood, inside the Ethernet port on the extender there are two lights green and yellow when the rj45 connectors are in place on both the extender and the computer and there is internet activity the light flashes green. Using the same extender on my old computer this light was steady green. I think it has to do with speed just trying to confirm that. Thanks
Well I kind of understood apart from the ‘flashed solid green’ but anyway, the normal operation of an Ethernet indicator is to flash with activity, but having said that some Netgear devices have been coded such that the ports don’t flash as some users prefer the steady indication. So, I’m wondering if you have updated the EX6100 firmware between computer use?
Is the flashing irregular?
This LED indicates the connection between the extender and the router or access point. • Solid green. Best connection. • Solid amber. Good connection. • Solid red. Poor connection. • Off. No connection.
Client Link LED ---------------------
This LED indicates the connection between the extender and a computer or mobile device. • Solid green. Best connection. • Solid amber. Good connection. • Solid red. Poor connection. • Off. No connection.
Power LED ----------------
• Solid amber. The extender is booting. • Solid green. The extender is powered on. • Off. The extender is powered off.
WPS LED
• Solid green. WiFi security is enabled (WPA or WPA2). • Blinking green. The extender is making a WPS connection. • Off. WiFi security is not enabled.
I can't understand the answer. I have 2 EX6100's. The Ethernet port on one 6100 flashes green, about once every 10 seconds. The other is solid amber. What does each of these indicators indicate? Is one operating differently then the other?
