Problem settting up Nighthawk AX4 router

Hi,

I was setting up a Netgear AX4 router and I'm experiencing some issues.

 

I've setup my existing router to modem mode on its settings page and have connected it to the Netgear router with its internet port.

However, after booting, the router shows the second LED (internet) blinking orange continuously. I've tried rebooting, reseting, and also tried multiple cables.

I also don’t think it’s the internet port’s problem because it knows when I plug in the cable as without it, it shows no light at all, and only starts blinking orange after inserting the cable.

 

The routers setup page says "no ethernet cable is plugged into the router internet port" when it clearly is. 

Would be great to have someone solve this issue.

        I've seen lots of issues on here with the vigin media hub 3.0's "modem only mode". 

        You can try putting the netgears IP address in the vigins dmz or try the orbi in access point mode with the vigin media in router mode.
