Whenever linksys router is not working and it is showing you a flashing orange light. You should check the internet status on the modem first.
Are you getting internet on the DSL/ Adsl modem? If yes! Then you need to follow these troubleshooting steps to fix blinking orange light issue.

• First of all, you need to power off the router and modem for 30 seconds. Now turn on the modem first. After that, you need to turn on the router. Now wait for a minute. Check can you see the solid green light on your router or not.
• Disconnect the router from the modem and then wait for 5 seconds. Now reconnect it.
• Let’s make sure that the ethernet cable is not faulty. Also, check the RJ-45 connectors. They should not be loose. If you have an extra pair of cable, you need to replace the cable and then check the connection do you have a blue or it is still flashing orange.
• If none of these step works on your router, you need to reset the router. To reset the router, you need to press & hold the reset button for 1 minute. Now setup the router. It will start working fine on your device

Sometimes, Linksys router users get flashing orange or amber light because of the firmware issue. So you must look for firmware update. in case, if you don’t know how to do it. here are the guide for that.

• Access the Linksys router settings:
• Open a browser → Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar → Log in with your admin credentials.
• Navigate to the Firmware Update section.
• Download and install the latest firmware from the Linksys Support website if an update is available.
• Reboot the router after the update.

let’s check that the internet is working fine from the ISP. to do that, you need to connect the computer directly to the modem. if you can access the internet through it. it means that your router is faulty. in this case, you need to reset the router and then setup it again.

• Locate the Reset button on the back of the router.
• Press and hold the button for about 10-30 seconds using a pin or paperclip.
• Wait for the router to reboot.

Once your router will reboot, you need to setup it again. it should be working fine now.

I had performed factory restore earlier but it didn’t work out for me. Also, after factory reset I am getting a solid red power light.
