On the SBG6580, the bottom light is the wireless light. When the wireless light is solid green, it is successfully paired with a network device. When it is flashing amber (an orangish colour), it means WPS pairing is in progress.
On mine, to stop it, I connect to the cable modem in my Internet browser (the IP address of my cable modem is 192.168.0.1). Once I log in to the cable modem, I click on the Wireless tab. After clicking on the Wireless tab, I click on Primary Network. After clicking on Primary Network, there is a section on the right hand side that reads WPS Setup AP. I click Configure and after clicking Configure, I click Abort. This changes the light from flashing to a solid green.
Again, Wireless tab -> Primary Network -> Configure (under WPS Setup AP section) -> Abort
