My computer is wired to the router and I can access the internet but the router shows that I am offline (orange light) all other computers that are connected via wifi or wired are showing up as green what is going on? Not a big deal as I can connect to the internet but I want to understand the situation

  • " the router shows that I am offline" forget the light, inside the DHCP service is there IP for your PC? and it's shows as active!

    orange vs green light on a wired connection is often a sign it connected at 100 Base-T rather than 1000. Check your cables.

Check the speed / duplex configured on your ethernet interface, and if it's possible set it to autonegotiate.

Your ethernet port will adapt to the speed and duplex capabilities offered by the router and it's very likely the connection be signaled by green instead of orange.
