netgear c7000 ac1900- lan port leds

should both green and amber led's be on when ethernet cable is pluged into one of the 4 lan ports on back of unit, and then pluged into computer. I only get the amber led. My speed seems to be about half what it should be.

       C7000 or C7000v2?  Look for "Model" on the product label.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for the
    LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

       Try a different cable?  Try a different port?  "computer" is not a
    very detailed description of that device.  Is its Ethernet interface
    gigabit-capable?

       What is your "My speed", measured how?  What should it be?
