Its because you're running 2 routers in router mode on the same network. Its called a double nat.

Try running the R8000 in access point mode. It disables its routing features but you'd still be able to use the wireless/ethernet and it just leaves the arris running routing
I am still wondering how it worked with CenturyLink DSL Modem+Wifi Router.
Thank you for the response. I tried running Arris in Bridge mode and it did not solve it. Netgear wifi router never showed internet LED turning white and Arris was not available as wifi router as well. I have to factory reset Arris to run in Natted mode again. I was not able to change X6 in AP mode, as it does neighter connect over wi-fi nor by wire. Same problem reported in original post. I'll dig more.
