    The problem has been solved.
    I restarted the router and in the router configuration I switched the LEDs off and on again.
    Now the LEDs suddenly work as they should.
    Even if I switch off the LEDs in the configuration, the extra led next to the power led will not stay on.
    Only the power LED stays on, as it should be.

    I have done a firmware upgrade to V1.0.2.63 today.
    LEDs from the USB and from the 5Ghz and 4.2Ghz Wifi do it again, without any problems.
    Even if I put a fixed network cable in the Netgear router, the LEDs from Lan 1 to 4 flash again.

Are you using the LED switch on the back?
