    Whats the model of the NG router? XR700? 

    https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/XR700/XR700_UM_EN.pdf

    Ethernet ports 1-4
    The LED color indicates the speed: white for Gigabit Ethernet connections and amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps Ethernet connections.
    • Solid. A powered-on device is connected to the Ethernet port.
    • Blinking. The port is sending or receiving traffic.
    • Off. No device is connected to this Ethernet port.

        Well if one device reports 1000mb and the others don't, possible connection issue at those devices. I persums you've swapped ports around as well. 

         

        I would contact the Mfr of those devices to check on connection rate support...
