That is an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) rather than a modem, but still no router involved. Just a plan LAN port.

What are you connecting to the R6120 that doesn't get an Internet connection? What are the symptoms?
Do devices see wifi from the router? If so, again what happens when you try to connect.
How fast is your Internet connection? If it is anything faster than 100 Mbps, then you might want to forget about the R6120.
According to Netgear's manual for the R6120, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
The wifi isnt up to much either.
