MR60 no cable detected

I bought a mesh system and have just tried to set it up. It's not recognizing it's connected to my Arris CM820 modem. I have tried all manner of restarting. Unfortunately, it took me a while to set it up (my office just finished it's remodel, I bought this in advance on sale), so my tech support options have expired even though I just took it out of the box. My modem connects perfectly with my old AC1200, but no matter what I try it doesn't recognize the MR60 router is attached. The MR60 has recognized the satellites. I need the extended wifi and I'm not tech savvy, so any guidance is appreciated.

    Try this. 

    power off both the CM820 and the MK system. 

    disconnect everything from both (even coax) and wait 2 minutes. 

    then connect coax back to t he cm820 and power it on. 

    Wait 2 minutes for it to fully boot. 

    then connect the lan cable from cm820 to the wan port on the MR60.

    then power the mr60 on. Give it 2 minutes to fully boot. 

    then attempt setup.
