New R7800 appears to be working flawlessly. I have 2 devices connected to LAN ports 1 and 3. The first port is a desktop and the third port is a printer. I was able to read that the LEDs on the R7800 will light up White for gigabyte (my port 1) and Amber for port 3 since my old printer doesn't have gigbyte capability.
I am curious though why both these ports seem to blink continuosly. I am pretty sure the desktop is accessing the internet doing updates, etc. while I am not actively surfing. However, I don't understand why port 3 (the one the printer is connected to) blinks continuosly when there isn't any print activity.
Hope someone will clue my in. I have been looking over manuls and googling the LAN ports blinking but most of the discussion on line is about the power and WAN LEDs blinking.
Thanks to microchip8 and meyersw! I thought it was likey nornmal. The blink rate for the LAN port LEDs on my old Linksys wrt1900ac were different (and slower) for the port the printer was connected.
So far this new netgear router rocks. 5+ stars out of 5 for the wireless range.
Glad it is working well for you. IMHO the r7800 is the best go to Netgear router right now. May not have all the shinny goo gaus of the newer, but the r7800 seems to work for most folks where the newer don't.
