ex7500 Router link LED is amber
I have a RAX80 router that is literally 4 feet away from my EX7500 extender. Why is the link light Amber and not Blue?? How clsoe must the ex7500 be to my router to be best connected?

Which link light? the router link light? the 2.4ghz link light? The 5ghz link light?
Need some specifics.
Firmware on the router?
Firmware on the extender?
Did you set it up via wps or the installation wizard?
Have you tried moving it further away?

To see all of their connections, you'd need to log into the extender to check their actual signal connection to the extender.

Its useful to show that devices are connected but since it can't show all devices, it should be more of just a "devices are connected" light and not show signal connection.
