_Which_ "5 leds are on constantly"? Colors? Whether or not a cable
is connected to the corresponding port?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get some. Read.

A cable normally has two ends. What's the other end doing?

Does that mean that the corresponding port-status LEDs stay dark, or
what?

What's to reset? It's an unmanaged switch.

If its port-status LEDs do not agree with reality, and data don't get
through it, then I'd guess that it's junk. In that case you might want
to look for a replacement switch with gigabit/s capability.
Are you using its PoE capability?
Last 5 less aare on. 12-16. Leds are green. Stay that way whether something is plugged in or not.
Other port less are dark. Stay that way whether a cable is plugged in or not.
Cable that is being used is connects to a laptop. It has been tested and works.
I am currently not using the Poe to power anything.

"Last" is a bit vague, but it sounds fried.

If you don't expect to use PoE, then replacing the thing should be
cheaper.
