AC1900 - C7000v2 has no internet via wired connection but wireless devices reach internet

So this whole problem started when I had ReadyShareVault exe downloaded to Win7 and then executed it.  After that the computer I used to do the exe no longer had access to the internet while all other devices flowing through the Netgear box were able to access the internet.  So after 3 frustrating days of trying everything, bought 3 months of gearhead support from Netgear.  

Spent maybe 45 minutes on the phone with them (India support I believe) and the final resolution was to go into Control Panel / Device Manager / Network Adapters / RealTek PCIe GBE Family Controller and double-clicked on it to get to the properties page.  From there, clicked on Driver tab, clicked on uninstall which took me to another screen - Confirm Device Uninstall - where I DID NOT use the check box but clicked on OK button.  After this, did a reboot which pulled the "missing" driver off a hard drive and then I could reach the internet again.

The explanation given to me was that during the ReadyShareVault software install, the LAN Family Controller became corrupt and needed to be replaced/refreshed.

I hope this helps some else out there.
