LAN cables are new and LEDs are blinking as if there is activity.  I will try the factory reset and set it up again.

    Reset worked.  Very odd.

      Glad the reset worked. Let us know if that happens again. If it does, the unit may need to be RMA. LAN ports should not fail. 

       

      Enjoy. :smileywink:

        Unfortunately, the fix is short lived.  I disconnected my laptop and reconnected with no LAN connectivity.  It appears that if I disconnect or device goes into sleep mode, it breaks.  This router worked after initial setup for a few months.  I did nothing to change anything.  Not sure what else to do at this point.  My opinion of Netgear is very low at this point.
