New Linksys router...quick question.

[Atty]

Just picked up a E3000 to replace my dead DGL-4300.

When I plug in an CAT5 cable from my Xbox the indicator for whatever port I've pluged in goes yellow. When I do any other CAT5 cable from another device it goes blue.

Why does yellow indicate? I have a connection to all devices, somewhat concerned.

Does the connection work? It might be an indicator of whether the connection is 100Mbit or 1Gigabit.

Are you sure its not green? That would indicate gig port, blue is a fe port. Or is that the other way around???

 

[Atty]

Oh, it does look more green than yellow. >_< /color blind/

So what does that mean then?

 

[SpunkyJones]

blue = 10/100 mbps
green = 1000 mbps

From cisco.com:

1, 2, 3, 4 (Green/Blue) These numbered LEDs,
corresponding with the numbered ports on
the Router’s back panel, serve two purposes.
The LED is continuously lit when the Router
is connected to a device through that port. It
flashes to indicate network activity over that
port. The LED lights up green when the port is
connected to a gigabit port or blue when the
port is connected to a 10/100 port.
