Internet light red on router

If you find a internet light red on router, it indicates that there is no signal or connection. In some situations, it might mean that one or more of the data packets might have been dropped.

A blinking/flashing red internet light shows a weak network with several dropped packets. And a solid red internet light means that there is no network connection.

There might be multiple reasons for the red internet light on your router. The reasons vary from one brand of routers to another.

Spectrum router red light

There are various reasons for the Spectrum router red light. If it is flashing or in the on/off condition, it shows that there are some router connectivity issues. If the blue light is flashing or in the on/off state followed by a Spectrum router red light that is on/off, it indicates that the router should not be interrupted.

If the red light on router shows, then it means there are some critical issues, and you cannot restart.

In this case, try the following:

  • Step 1:You need to check your cables. Check the coaxial cable that is connected to your modem from the wall socket. If this cable is loose, try tightening it.
  • Step 2:Ensure that the coaxial connectors are not damaged.
  • Step 3:One of the ends of your Ethernet cable should be plugged into the Ethernet port on your modem's rear part. Now, the other end needs to be connected to the internet/WAN port located at the back of your router.

Verizon router red light

  • Step 2:When the Verizon router red light shows, it indicates malfunction (of the router).
  • Step 3:To resolve this Verizon router red light issue, switch off your router and then restart it.
  • Step 4:If the light is solid green, but still, the internet cannot be accessed, follow the steps given below:
  • Step 5:First, try checking your router's set up. For this, ensure that the cable from the wall socket is plugged correctly into the router's WAN port.
  • Step 6:Also, make sure that the external devices (if any) are connected to the yellow-colored LAN ports.
  • Step 7:Check if your Verizon router's WAN light is in the ON condition.

Asus router red light

When you connect an Asus router to a charger, and the battery is exhausted, the LED indicator 3 will turn red. This indicates that your system is at a very low battery status. In case the LED indicator 3 on your router blinks/flashes red, it shows that the battery is fully discharged.

When the LED indicator 4 flashes red every 4 seconds, then it means that your router is ON with a battery level of less than 15% and is not connected to a charger.

To resolve the above issues, try doing a factory reset of your Asus router.

LAN: A blinking green light is normal. This indicates traffic/usage on the local network.

ADSL: A solid green light indicates a good Internet connection. A blinking light means you are having difficulty connecting to the internet. Ensure all telephone cable connections are tight and secure and reboot the modem and router (if applicable).
