That is true on mine as well.

My Netgear WGR614v4 Firmware Version V5.0_07
Turns the power light solid amber for 5 seconds during power on, then five
seconds blinking amber, then solid green, with or without the WAN cable
attached. The "wireless" light blinks once between the two amber stages,
and later becomes a WiFi activity indicator.

After you convinced me to "factory reset it" the other day, I'm using it
daisy chained behind a Motorola SB5100 cable modem - Linksys BEFW11S4v3
- Dlink DVG-5102S - Netgear WGR614v4.

I don't know if the factory reset or being off for a few hours cured it of
yesterday's illness, but it has been fine today.

Funny, I can ping the Linksys router, but I can't connect to the web
management interface, on my twice removed NAT address.
