Only 1 ethernet port (of 2) works on AC1200 Cable Modem Router (C6230)
Only 1 ethernet port (of 2) works on 16x4 DS3.0 AC1200 Cable Modem Router (C6230). Other port, and wifi, still work. How do I fix, or does that mean it's dying and needs to be replaced?

It is probably too late now, but there is no requirement to "set up an account" to configure a Netgear router after a factory reset. Most customers choose to register their products with Netgear, but it is not required. The smartphone 'app' works only when connected to a Netgear account, but the web configuration does not require an account.
