XR500 ethernet status light colors incorrect?

Hi there,
I purchased the unit in March 2020.
Firmware is V2.3.2.56.
The lights and speeds (in monitoring) apparently have a mirrored relationship to the actual port numbers. So the light "Eth 1" corresponds to Port Number 4 etc.
I understand this is a bug/error/production fault that these units can have.
I dont care terribly much although it should obviously not have been present on such a premium product. Maybe a notice should have accompanied the unit or possibly a good quality sticker with the correct port numbers should be provided....or something.
Anyway, it would obviously be great if it could be bugfixed or at least stickered correctly seeing as the people that buy these units are probably the ones that might notice the technical details.
Ciao, Paul.
It shouldn't be present on new models so it probably is something we can fix with firmware. Could you try the DumaOS 3.0 beta and see if it is still an issue? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/bd-p/en-home-beta-npg-duma
