Good point,,, I never thought of that

Oddly enough on my recently modded WRT610N running Openwrt, the lan lights change colours, e.g. when I power up my PS3, the light on the lan port of the router is green yet when I switch my xbox on it is blue.

I don't know which colour symbolises gig throughput yet though.
