Initial setup, no Ethernet port lights

[Jeff48]

Just got my receiver and set it all up. I am not getting any green or yellow lights at the Ethernet port on the back. I have checked the cable by plugging my laptop in, getting internet, and switching cables, but still no lights. In my router I added the receiver by using the mac address so it has an ip address and I can ping the receiver.
I have contacted support but it just seems weird that I get no Ethernet lights but can ping it.

I left it plugged in and it has started working and sending data. However I am still not getting any lights by the Ethernet port. It does appear to be working fine otherwise.
