"show up" where/how, exactly? LAN Ethernet port-status LED
indicators?
What is the LAN IP address of the old router? What is the IP address

getting its address "automatically" (by DHCP), or did you give it a
static address?
What's the LAN IP address of the new router?

It's probably unimportant in this case, but, as always, an actual
version number would be more useful than your opinion of what's "the
latest available" today.
