Netgear Nighthawk C7000v2 Wireless work fine but no wired connection via LAN

Just purchased C7000 Nighthawk - installation was easy.  worked with ISP provider Cox.  No issues.  Wireless is working fine.  However, I cannot get the modem/router to recginzie any of the LAN ports.  Have tried resetting and turned on and off.  Netgear genie shows 3 of the 4 connected LAN and indicates that they are allowed.  Lights on the back of the modem/router to the LAN ports are all yellow with occastional flash.  No green lights.

 

Any suggestions in allowing the LAN ports to connect?

    What LAN devices do you have connected? 

    Be sure to swap out LAN cables with good quality cables, CAT6 is recommended.

      I used the previous cable I had with prior device.  They are CAT6 cables.  Any other ideas on why these devices wouldn;t register.  It is to my Samsung TV, Panasonic Blu-Ray and my Denon Receiver.

        Do you have any wired devices that are working when wire connected or is all devices not working over wire? 

        Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
