Light status table
| Light | Color | Pattern | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Status light | Yellow | Pulsing | On a Google Nest Wifi router, pulsing yellow means there is a network error. | Check Ethernet between modem and router, then restart both devices in the right order. |
Before replacing parts
Check the exact light name, color, and blinking pattern. Many devices use similar lights for very different states, such as setup mode, firmware updates, charging, connection attempts, paper jams, or failed pairing.
