INTERNET LIGHT ORANGE ON ROUTER

A blinking orange light on the router indicates connection issues with the Internet Service Provider. It also lights orange or amber when the internet speed is low. The router flashes orange light when it is trying to connect to your wireless network. If you have entered the wrong network credentials, the router will display an orange light. If the connected ports are damaged, or the Ethernet cables are not connected tightly, the router shows an orange light. The power light turns amber when the software is tested; if the orange light doesn’t change for 30 seconds, there are some issues.

Step 1:Make sure to use the original power cable.

Step 2:Update the router’s firmware software to the latest version.

Step 3:Turn OFF the router and restart the router and modem connected to your device.
