RT N66U - Bad Ethernet Ports

[LadyByrd]

I have had the N66U for several years and it's been fantastic, but a couple of weeks ago some of my wired (we only have a few) devices stopped working - and when I checked the router, I could see that only one wired connection was receiving an IP address. After several days of troubleshooting, restarting/rebuilding the router settings, changing cables and other frustrations, I finally decided just to switch the ports, and voila - the problem is confirmed that ports 2&3 on the router are not working, but ports 1 &4 (one of which serves a switch) are working fine.

Weirdly, this happened after I updated to the latest ASUS Firmware. 3.0.0.4.378_9313-g53ab20f
(It seems unlikely that there is a connection, but thought I would post just in case anyone else has had a similar problem.)
