Netgear Nighthawk R7800 Router and Arlo Pro 2 wire-free camera

Hi,
My Netgear Router Which Plugged with my Arlo Base Station by ethernet cable Always Flashes Amber on my router
(P.S Everything Works Fine with the camera [All three led's are green] and other device connected to my router except the ARLO Base Station)

I've read in the router manual that when Flashes Amber it's limited to 10 mgb.
Can Anyone help me solving this issue

Thanks

Usually the amber LED on a router means it's connected at 100Mb/s. The flashing is due to network access - steady means no access at the moment.  100MB/s is all thats needed due to the throughput of the cameras, even if several are recording at once.

The answer is as @jguerdat explains it.
 

There is a manual for the R7800 somewhere at the end of this link:

 

>>> R7800 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<

 

You will see (page 10) that it says "amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps Ethernet connections".
