    Hello all,

    There's a orange light on my linksys router. Normally, it should be a white light.

    Any one knows how to rectify this?

    The Cisco System symbol has always been orange... I'm looking at it right now.

    Hello there,

    I see. It seems the orange/white light is related to SES (the secure easy setup?)

    Hmmm, any one knows how to change it to white light? haha.

    All along, it has been white light for me.

    edit: doesnt matter now! Orange light is fine for me since the security isn't compromised.

    You are correct. The light is white when you use SES and orange when you don't use it. It shouldn't affect your security; SES is supposed to make setting things up easier.

    P.S. I guess it was always orange for me since I don't use SES.
