CM500's ethernet light will flash AMBER if it is 10/100 ethernet. I believe WNR2000v5 is only 10/100 (NOT GIGABIT 1000BaseT) and that is why it is flashing Amber.

you should factory reset WNR2000v5 and if it does not work, post the screenshots of the internet settings page here. Also, anytime you change devices behind modem (changing from PC to WNR2000v5, and vice-versa,) reboot the modem.
