Lan cable active on port 2 switched to 1 and 3 without succes

If this has been going on from day 1, I'd open a support case with netgear.
To get a hold of support. Click on "MyNetgear" at the top.
Register an account (or login) and then the device.
From there you can start the support process. Keep in mind that its only free for the first 90 days.sounds like those 2 ports are dead for some reason. You can't really do much to fix them if the ports are technically dead.
