Cat 5 Connection

All,

Just picked up the router last night and configured it. Updated to  the latest FW and all is good...suprisingly good. Really like the NetDuma software and I still need to assign and tweak it, but its reallly good.

Any Netgear techs out there... I noticed when I connected my Cat6 cable into designated port 1 on the back of the router, the status lights on port 4 lights up.

Strangely enough, I thought it was odd that Port 1 was at the farthest end away from ISP connection....anyone else notice this??

TIA

    Wonder if the labling on the back of the router is mis printed...:smileyfrustrated:

      That's what I'm thinking. Just want to see how many other users have this as well??
