Hi Plemans,
Thank you for your response.
So the ETHERNET port I was referring to is the YELLOW RJ45 port that the router uses to connect to the ISP modem.
Thanks for all your help :)

What ISP modem is it? (model)
Have you checked the cable? I've seen sketchy cables cause issues.
Make sure its a cat 5e or better cable and decent quality

Hi Plemans,
The Spectrum Modem is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem - 3.1 E31N2V1 Hitron.
Also, ethernet cable looks good, decent quality - Cat 7... Been using it for a few months, no problem.
Thanks :)
