Flashing Green Light

[Guest]

On my the ethernet port on my hub the green light is flashing green what does this mean, I am on chromebook.

That usually means that there is a connection and there is traffic going over the port, so basically that it’s working.

Do you have a model number we can look-up? Generally a blinking LED in a NIC indicates data being transmitted but sometimes it can have to do with the speed of the interface or if there's something wrong with the interface.

I do not have a model number because I found this hub at a dollar store and I threw away the box. There is literaly no branding or anything to identify it online

Is there any silk-screen next to the blinking LED that would tell you what it means?

Does each port have 2 LEDs? One solid, one blinking?

Also, is it a hub or a switch?  Nobody should be using hubs in the past 15-20 years or so but seeing as you said dollar store, it could be outdated garbage.

If its connected as Gigabit its a switch, but if its 100Mbit to, god forbid, 10Mbit it could be a hub.
