Router or hub light orange, red or flashing? What it means, by provider

194 light states on 24 broadband hubs from 9 providers, each from the provider’s own support page. Solid orange means “starting up” on one hub and “no internet” on another, so pick the colour, whether it is steady or flashing, and your provider.
