Connect lan cable to AP wireless set up

After setting up manually i had wireless working up stairs AP but no internet from LAN ports. So after research decided to reset, log in again setup and using auto AP setup .... ok for wireless but still no internet from lan ports.

    so the router is setup in access point mode. 

    What router is it connected to? 

    What firmware is on the R6020?

    what modem is it connected to?

      Thanks pleman.
      Yep. I’m the dill. So far i have ditched 2 very long cat 5 cables
      as faulty because the clips were broken off and the plug slipped out Just enough to break the connection .... so frustrating after having climbed
      back through the roof 3 times towing and feeding cables.?
      I found another long one in my garage after I posted and guess what?
      It was all good from there. Der. Proof that the wireless AP setup didn’t block the lan ports incoming internet cable from
      downstairs.thanks again
