I preemptively adjusted the settings to how I need them prior to attaching to the modem. VIA ETHERNET. I can access each setting in the webpage.

You can set up a router "off line" using an Ethernet connection, but after you have done that you need to start your network in the right way. You can't just plug things in willy nilly.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
