I was doing some cleaning under my desk and unplugged the ethernet cable from the back of my router.
Plugged it back in to what turned out to be a different port on the router and went on with using the PC.
Later on I went to get a drink and on coming back I noticed an LED on the motherboard of the machine (which has a side window and unused fan grills on the top of the case) which was usually green had turned Orange.
I reached for the motherboard manual (it's a Gigabyte H61MA-D2V) to find out what the light meant in case it was some kind of diagnostic indicator.
Absolutely no detail in there.
Rebooted and the machine passed POST and loaded windows 7 as usual, light still orange so I left it and went to bed
Came back today and again still an Orange light, determined it was an Ethernet link light by disconnecting the cable and the light went out, by a process of elimination it appears that, like on routers the colour indicates the link speed (Orange = 1 Gbps Green = 10/100 Mbps)
To cut a long story short I tried all four Ethernet ports on the router (and no it wasn't plugged into the EWAN port) and all connected at 1 Gbps apart from port 3.
Its running the latest firmware and I reset it to factory defaults, but this did not fix the issue, anyone else had a similar issue with this device?

I've never had a problem like that.
Have a look into Port 3 and see if all of the pins/contacts are intact.

All look present and correct.
Had it been consistent across all the ports I'd have replaced the cable, going to try a firmware downgrade and see what happens.

No joy, looks like a hardware fault.

As the device is only two months old I raised the issue with Amazon and a replacement unit is on its way to me.

My 7800n has just developed the same problem, port3 not functioning. Mine is well out of warranty though.

Sorry, not sure what you mean.
Edit: With you know, I have signatures turned off and so I couldn't see my own!

So is it right? That seems unlikely. Probably best to delete it completely if it can't be relied upon to be right and you're not interested in anyone else's .

Get over it, nobody cares.
This thread is about the 7800n, not about you telling other people what to put in their autosig.
I don't come on here very often, so I might be mistaken, but are you the guy who used to derail the Be threads a while back with inane ramblings?
Sorry if I have you confused with someone else.
