• If the blinking light is blue, it indicates a device, computer, or router is connected to Ethernet port and is operating in high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) mode. So the speed of your router is faster than the one with amber blinking light. Your router is one of the top of the lines.

• That is just the modem sending and receiving data. It's just flashing to indicate that it's doing its thing.

• When it is blue it means it is hooked up to a gigabit speed capable router or device. If it is yellow it means the device it is hooked up to (router or computer) is a sub gigabit speed device.

• It blinks as data is transferred, so blinking is good. In the instruction manual that it came with it describes what different colors indicate as well if the icon should be solid or blinking and what the differences indicate.
