Default Re: My netgear router light has gone orange....

Hi!

> Also, which light is amber/orange? What's the label on the light say?


I think the OP said that they plugged in a network cable and got an orange
link light.

On my WGR-614v6 (and some others) that means you've got a 10 megabit link
(!!!!) instead of a 100 megabit link, which is the normal green light. It's
not mentioned in the manual that I can see...and I was pleasantly surprised
to see after plugging in a PS/2 Model 95 that there was a means of determing
link speed by light color included with it. Too bad the rest of it doesn't
work all that well...
