If the network indicator on the Xiaomi Router AX1500 frequently turns orange, it is due to the CPU being fully utilized. This can occur during activities such as large file downloads or when many devices are downloading simultaneously. The router's current method of detecting external network connectivity involves pinging external networks to verify connectivity. Pinging is a command used in networking to test the reachability of a device on an IP network. When the CPU is maxed out, high ping latency can be misinterpreted as a disconnection, causing the internet indicator to turn orange.
If you encounter this situation, please don't worry. This phenomenon is normal. Wait for the router to recover automatically, it won't affect regular usage.
