Attached Devices Not Showing

Hello, I have a C3000 N300 Cable Modem Router and the firmware is V2.02.08.  I have attached my raspberry pi with an ethernet cable to the router.  However when I go to the GUI, and look at the attached device page, I see all the wireless connections but not my wired raspberry pi.  Why isn't my raspberry pi listed, and how do I get to see the raspberry pi on the attached device list?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

       Does the Raspberry Pi think that it's connected to the router?  Do
    other wired devices appear in the list?

      When I connect my iMac via ethernet cable, it does show up in the attached devices.  How do I know if the raspberry pi knows if it is connected to a router?

           How are you interacting with the Raspberry Pi?  Keyboard, mouse,
        display?  Something else?  How do you know that it's working?

           My experience with Raspberry Pi systems is limited to the Zero, which
        is too lame even to have an Ethernet port, so its (USB) networking may
        differ substantially from that of your model.  (Which is ...?)

           If you are looking at a normal desktop GUI on the thing, then does a
        Web browser work?  At a command-line (shell) terminal interface, a
        command like "ifconfig -a" should report on all the network interfaces.
        If it is getting a DHCP-assigned address like the one on your iMac
        (192.168.0.x?), then that would suggest that it's talking to the router.
        A self-assigned address like 169.254.x.y would suggest that it's not.

           I have no idea how much you know about a/your Raspberry Pi, or
        networking, or computers in general, which makes it a little hard to
        know what to tell you.  For example, questions come to mind like whether
        you've installed an OS on the thing, whether its LED indicators indicate
        anything, and so on.  Some description of what you've done so far might
        help.  Plenty of "Raspberry Pi for Beginners" info exists on the Web, of
        course.
