You might do better to post your question in the forum area for cable modem/routers.

Does the WNR2000v5 in your "footer" mean anything? Do you have one of those too?

   If every device+cable combination works in one port but not in the

   Repair typically isn't practical.  A new modem+router would be one
solution.  A possibly cheaper work-around would be to buy a (cheap)
gigabit Ethernet switch, and use that with the remaining good port on
the C3000 to feed your devices.
