Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency

Quick answer
On the TP-Link Archer AX10, a solid orange Internet LED means the Internet port is connected but internet service is not available. Check the Internet IP under Advanced, Status, the cable to the modem and whether the provider's modem has internet.

What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Service check by the provider
What they doIf the computer wired straight to the modem cannot browse either, the provider checks the line and the modem from its systems or with an engineer.
They must show youthe line test result and the modem status.
In writingthe incident number, the cause and the date.
Connection type confirmation
What they doThe provider confirms your line's connection type (Dynamic IP, PPPoE or Static IP) and, for PPPoE or Static IP, the details you must enter in the router.
They must show youyour line's connection type and the parameters needed.
In writingthe connection type and the details given, with the date.
TP-Link technical support
What they doIf the Internet IP is valid and public and there is still no access, contact TP-Link with the IP from the status page, the modem model and the steps already tried.
They must show youthe router diagnosis and the Internet IP reviewed.
In writingthe case number, the diagnosis and whether the router is replaced under warranty.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Internet IP under Advanced, Status
- Who:
- you, from a computer connected to the router.
- How:
- log in to the TP-Link router's web management page, go to Advanced, Status and note the Internet IP address shown.
- Result that matters:
- knowing which path to follow: 0.0.0.0 (no IP from the modem) or a valid IP.
- If it shows 0.0.0.0:
- check the physical connection and the modem.
- If it shows a valid public IP:
- TP-Link suggests setting the DNS manually and restarting modem and router.
- Evidence to keep:
- screenshot of the status page with the Internet IP.
Evidence: TP-Link Router Not Connecting to Internet
Cable and Internet port
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- check that the Ethernet cable from the provider's modem goes into the TP-Link router's WAN/Internet port, not a LAN port, and is firmly seated at both ends.
- Result that matters:
- ruling out a loose connection or wrong port, a very common cause of a 0.0.0.0 IP.
- If it was in another port or loose:
- once corrected the LED turns green.
- If it was connected correctly:
- test the modem directly with a computer.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the cable in the Internet port.

Provider's modem straight to a computer
- Who:
- you, with a computer that has a network port.
- How:
- disconnect the TP-Link router, connect the computer directly to the modem with an Ethernet cable and check whether it browses; if not, restart the modem and try again.
- Result that matters:
- telling a provider fault apart from a router fault.
- If the computer still cannot browse after restarting the modem:
- contact your provider.
- If the computer browses:
- the fault is in the router setup; continue with the ordered restart and the connection type.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of the test and time, and the incident number if you call the provider.

Ordered restart and connection type
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- power off modem and router for one minute, power on the router first and wait about two minutes, then the modem for another two; then confirm with your provider whether the connection is Dynamic IP, PPPoE or Static IP.
- Result that matters:
- the router starting with the modem already connected and using the connection type your line needs.
- If after the restart or with the right type the LED turns green:
- solved.
- If it stays orange:
- TP-Link suggests cloning your computer's MAC or changing the router's LAN IP, and otherwise contacting its support.
- Evidence to keep:
- screenshot of the configured connection type.

What it means
The official TP-Link Archer AX10 (AX1500) user guide says the Internet LED is green when internet service is available, solid orange when the router's Internet port is connected but service is not available, and off when the port is unplugged. The cable is there, but the router gets no connection: there may be no IP from the modem, a wrong connection type or an address conflict. TP-Link's guide for routers with no internet starts from the Internet IP under Advanced, Status. Other Archer models may use other colours.

- The router gets no IP from the modemCommon
An Internet IP of 0.0.0.0 under Advanced, Status means the router has not received a valid address, often due to a loose cable or the wrong port.
Evidence: TP-Link Router Not Connecting to Internet
- Wrong connection typePossible
If the router is set to Dynamic IP and the provider uses PPPoE or Static IP (or the other way round), it will not connect; confirm it with the provider.
Evidence: TP-Link Router Not Connecting to Internet
- IP range conflict with the modemPossible
If the provider's modem uses the same range (192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) as the TP-Link router, the two conflict and there is no internet access.
