Genie Network Map -- blue / purple lines?
We have an R7000 Nighthawk router, and although we have 6-8 wifi devices in our home, we do want to minimize wifi signals as much as possible to mitigate any possible health risks, such as not having unneeded wifi signals overnight, for example. In the Genie app Network Map, there are a lot of wifi connections shown with dashed blue / purple lines. What is the meaning of those lines? I understand they are wifi connections, but does the color indicate that they are not currently active? Are active connections always shown in green, or are some of the blue / purple lines active also? Thanks for any information!CG3100D LED Ethernet light is BLUE
Hi, I am experiencing very poor wifi, with drop outs from devices, and one or two devices simply not connecting any more. Nothing appears to have changed in our usage patterns... I looked at the modem, and the only thing I can see is that the ethernet LED at port #1 is a solid blue, whilst every other connection is green. I switched the blue cable from port #1 to port #3, and that lit up as blue as well. I've searched the manuals on line, and there is a scary lack of 'blue light' info. Can anyone please tell me what this blue means, and if it is the reason for all the drop outs..? Oh, yes, and in a perfect world, how I might fix it, please...
