That just says you have a box on the wall. It tells us nothing about what it is and what it can do.

well assuming you know what a modem is and what it does , i have the verizon fios modem connected to the nighthawk router with a cat 5e ethernet cable. i don't know what else what you want me to include on here.

I sure do. I have owned many over the years.
But modems come in different flavours with a whole raft of possible features. Some do wifi, some do phones, some do handstands.
This will give you some idea of what we are up against:
verizon fios modem - Google Search
If you can find your modem, it probably has a label on the bottom that has a brand name and a model number. Without that information it is impossible to rule out some of the issues that can affect any router you attach to it.

oh i see , well i cant flip the modem at the moment over to see if it has a model number since its on the wall , but the brand of the modem is verizon . if you search for verizon ont , you'll see it there . im just going to attach a photo i got off the internet , it looks exactly like the equipment i have.
