Re: Netgear R 7000 Lan Ports not working

1. what firmware is on the router? 

2. how long have they been not working? 

3. if you swap a device onto one of those ports, will it work? 

4. what caused it to stop working? (storm, dropped, firmware update, etc)

5. have you tried a simple factory reset and reinstall?

Re: Netgear R 7000 Lan Ports not working

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.
