   Regarding "orange" (which might be what Netgear calls "amber"):

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for the LED
descriptions (and "Troubleshoot").

   Now that we know that "amber" means slower-than-gigabit/s soeed, not
necessarily defective...

   Your (unspecified) "my BT TV" might have a slower-than-gigabit/s
Ethernet port because it doesn't need higher speed to do its job (and
slower was cheaper than faster).  Your (unspecified) "my laptop" might
be old or cheap.  A faulty Ethernet cable can cause a slow connection,
too.  (All eight conductors are needed for gigabit/s speed, but the
right four are enough for a slower rate.)

   "don[']t seem to receive internet" is not a useful problem
description.  It does not say what you did.  It does not say what
happened when you did it.  As usual, showing actual actions (commands)
with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be
more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

   With my weak psychic powers, I have no idea how you configured those
devices, or what they have to say about their Internet connections.
