  If the Internet light on your NETGEAR Wireless Router stays amber, it means the Internet is not accessible. First, confirm that you have the correct internet settings. If that doesn't work, try clearing the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to 192.168.1.1. You can also try turning the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
