Link light not on, nor flashing

I have a Cisco DPC 3010 cable modem(installed by Cox 6/7/2012) and a D-Link DIR615 Router connected to an IMac (late 2010). Yesterday I noticed that the link light on the modem was not blinking--no light at all.  As far as I call tell, all the functions of the computer have not been affected--everything seems normal.  Is there a problem?  Could the link LED be burned out?  Advice, suggestions?

    Is the internet light lit/blinking on your DIR-615 router?  If so, and since network functions are normal, it's probably a burnt out led in the modem.  Nothing you can do except live with it or replace the modem.

    Thanks, Allen.  Yes, the internet light on the DIR-615 router is lit/blinking.  I can live with the burnt out LED in the cable modem!
