Sorry meant 19v. was looking at the back of router. Really thinking it could be the power supply. Was thinking that the pins could have lost contact as well tho. It's strange one

The good news is that Netgear's power adapters are generic. It doesn't sell them, but any adapter will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions.
You may have one lying around somewhere. Some on-line emporia even tout their adapters as being compatible with particular Netgear models.
Another hidden "feature" is that Netgear's devices may say 120 V on them, but some of us have taken our life on your hands and plugged them into 240 volts. (Detached from the router of course.) No nasty bangs and broken adapters.
Soooo got a correct powersupply, 19v, still having the same issue LAN ports 1 and 2 stay at 100m, 3 and 4 at 1000m,
only thing that i have noticed is that when i plug in to 1 or 2 there is a long delay in the light coming on compared to 3 and 4,
Tried a firmware downgrade and another reset just incase,
Next options is just to plug in an unmanged 8 port switch to get a round this missing ports

insurance policy on ports 3 and 4, but they could last longer than some
other critical part, too.
