N600 Port Question

Please excuse my ignorance as I ask for help regarding my new Netgear N600 router. I have 4 ports, but only 1 is lit. Is that normal?

       If those devices are powered on, and the cables are good, then the
    corresponding LAN port-status LED indicators should be lit (as described
    in the User Manual).  For an unconnected LAN port, the corresponding LAN
    port-status LED indicator should be dark (as described in the User
    Manual).

       A modem should be connected to the router's WAN/Internet port.  The
    corresponding LED indicator for that is different (as described in the
    User Manual).
