I have this an older AC1750 - R6400 router and have two devices plugged directly into it. One of the direct plugins has a solid red light although it is working perfectly. How do I eliminate the red light as I am concerned it will become problematic.
Thank you for the reply. I simply ran the cat5e cable directly from the router to a TCL Smart TV rather than using the wifi connection. Everything is working fine, but I am concerned about the red light. Any other insights are greatly appreciated.
It is a basic 55" TCL and shouldn't be anything that would cause a problem. I tried several different cables, did a soft reset on the modem etc. I have not tried a hard reset but hesitate to do that as everything is working perfectly. I just have had the red light since I pluged the TV in directly to the modem.

What is this "modem"?
In general, LEDs for Ethernet connections follow the same convention. Modems, routers, switches they are usually the same.They are speed indicators.
As has been said already, several times, the red (amber) Ethernet LEDs on R6400 tell you how fast a device is connected to the router on that LAN port.
Here's what t says in the manual:
"The LED color indicates the speed: white for Gigabit Ethernet connections and amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps Ethernet connections."
Everything is working perfectly but was surprised to see the red light on the port where I plugged the TV into directly. I have another port directly connected which feeds a number of other devices in my home - other TV's & a desktop - rather than utilizing the wifi system. That port is a solid white and I was expecting the port where I plugged in the TV to be the same. Perhaps it is normal.
