AX-86U WIFI LED TURNS RED while signal still there

[homeofwind]

Several times LED turning red while there are still wifi. Rebooting or power off/on not killing it. Still red. Other lights no issues. Normal wifi signals.
Running stock 3.0.0.4.386_41535 firmware.
Any suggestions where issues coming from?
Thanks.

Which LED?
BTW- There is newer firmware to address the dnsmasq vulnerability.
Since it was a quick fix release it is still considered beta.

Which WAN port are you using the 1g or 2.5g?
I use the 2.5 and if I do not set Primary WAN to 2.5g the 1g will be lit up red.
After setting the 2.5 to primary WAN the 1g no longer lights up.

It is the main internet LED in the middle not the WAN indicator.

It is the main internet LED in the middle not the WAN indicator.

The middle right LED is the 1g WAN LED ( I circled in yellow).
The LED to the right of it is the 2.5g.
So which port are you plugged into from your modem?
