How do I activate all 4 LAN ports on my router

My cable internet was upgraded to Gigabit speeds.  I purchased a new cable modem (Netgear Nighthawk CM1200) and a new router (Netgear Nighthawk RAX70).  Currently, only port 1 for LAN ethernet is working.  I cannot seem to get the other 3 ports to activate...any ideas folks?

 

Thanks in advance.

       Ok.  And did what with them?

       "only port 1" on _which_ device?

       "seem"?  "cannot" is not a useful problem description.  It does not
    say what you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As
    usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results
    (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.
