Just about the only thing I haven't tried. Will give this a shot and report back asap.
Going to factory reset. Then reconfigure in exact same fashion as first tried. Please let me know if there's a better order of doing this than:
1. Directly attach PC to fresh R6700v3
2. Update admin settings
3. Update IP/dns/network settings
4. backup config
5. Update firmware
6. Attach netgear router WAN port to netgear modem port
7. attach pc to netgear LAN port
8. Test webpage management/internet access
I may first attempt with out of box firmware to see if issue is same as well.
Thanks in advance!

Tried the same thing with latest firmware - same thing
Tried same thing with a later firmware version: V1.0.4.122_10.0.95 - same thing
Literally, the moment this router touches the internet it ceases to allow Ethernet web connectivity.
The url it redirects to, provides another URL:

Tried these solutions as well with no luck.
I've Spent too much time on this router at this point. Going to just return and find a more suitable solution.
