    Have the exact same thing.  Doesnt seem to affect anything but did notice that as well

      Thanks!!! Agreed it will not affect any of the router's capabilties, but Netgear should really have better quality control, especially when it comes to simple labeling.

        I can confirm this as well. Just got my XR in today. Connected 1 cable up to Port labeled 1 in back of the router. Farthest away from the WAN port. LED on the front labled 4 is lit up and blinking. 

         

        Seems to be either a mis print on the router case or mis-code in the FW. :smileyfrustrated:

         

        Router working otherwise.
