Nighthawk rax43 router

I just bout a nighthawk rax43 and when ever I plug in the internet it doesn’t seem to connect but when I do this to the old router it work fine I looked up ways to fix this but they all say unplug modem I do not own a modem and a little confused about what to do please help and thank you. Also for a later topic when ever I plug a Ethernet cored in it doesn’t seem to work on either router if someone could help me with that it would be awesome too thank you

    Whats that "box in the attic" because the PowerDsine 3001 is a  power injector that's powering something.

    Did you check with your isp?

    what are you plugging the router into? It doesn't have its own modem/gateway option so its connected to something. 

    What is that something?

      So where the box form the wifi company comes into the house it goes straight to this box in the attic but it only has a in and a out on it no button or light on it then it come down to this PowerDsine 3001 no lights or button then straight to the router and the old router worked fine with that so honestly I don’t know what that something is.
