What does Netgear call this "the uplink port"? If you mean the
WAN/Internet port, then the "Internet" LED does not behave the same as
the LAN Ethernet port-status LEDs (and so it does not indicate a simple
physical link).
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

Huh? The TFTP recovery scheme uses a LAN Ethernet port, not the
WAN/Internet Ethernet port.
