Netgear MR814v2 wireless router - WAN port speed = 10 or 100?

The box to this product says the WAN port is 10/100, while the manuals
say it's 10 mbps. I realize that's probably not gating factor for net
throughput (I only have measly DSL, for example) but I'd still like to
know which it is.

Thx if you know...

My Cisco router is auto 10/100 connected to my Netgear AP and switch, the
router shows 10/full so I have to guess the netgear is a static 10. I
checked my manual and the netgear web page, both say 10. T

Typo on the box, then I guess, bad one even. D-Link and Linksys's
comparable 802.11b wireless routers both have fast ethernet on *their*
WAN ports

I can xfer files between PCs connected together on my MR814v2 at about
75Mbps which tells me they are 100Mpbs ports.

The docs I got with the product say if the port link light is green, you are
connected at 100Mbps, and amber if at 10Mbps.

Thanks... I amssuming the ports are each 1 of the 4 lan ports? Both
of those are 10/100.

I was referring to the *WAN* port - the one you connect to the
broadband modem.

I assume those file transfers are done LAN-direct between machines and
not over the internet first?

Sorry. I am using the LAN ports.

Alrightee, I'm going to answer my own question, just in case somebody
down the road has the same question. Netgear support told me via
phone some gobbledy gook about the WAN port being 100 *ONLY IF* you
connect via crossover cable for some other non-standard purpose
otherwise in fact it's 10.

I went ahead and connected it and the connect light on my DSL modem
shows the 100 light (not 10) lit up. So I guess the WAN port is
actually 100 despite the inaccuracies from their documentation as well
as their tech support. (Though they know how to print boxes
correctly, apparently. )
