When I plug an ethernet cable into say ethernet slot 1 the router will indicate that it is in slot 4. The numbering is back to front. This is really anoying how do you get the router to display correct ethernet port number.
I have tried factory reset and updated the firmware and still I have the same problem.
This is verry anoying on such an exspensive bit of kit, please tell me there is a fix for this fault ?

Re: XR500 Displaying The Incorect Ethernet slot light
That was a quick reply. When you say its hardware does this mean its never going to be fixed or is it that it is just the one I purchased and just swapping it for a replacement should have the lights indicating as intented.

Re: XR500 Displaying The Incorect Ethernet slot light
Hello I got a replacement from Amazon and that too has the same issue. Spoke to Netgear suport and they told me this unit is fairly new as it was built Febaury 2018 and they have never heard of this problem.I find it really anoying that a £250 router has missed the quallity control dept and in my case twice. As I have already recived a replacement from Amazon they wont replace it again but only other a refund in full which I am consdering unless netgear can send me a replacement.
