Why Did My Ethernet LED Color Change (APEX2005)?
LED color changes indicate a change in connection speed, not a problem.
- Green: 2.5 Gbps connection
- Amber: 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps connection
This usually happens when:
- A different device is connected
- A cable is replaced
- The device only supports Gigabit Ethernet
This behavior is normal.
