Maybe that bit of your second hand router is dead. Perhaps that is why the original owner sold it.
Netgear's routers rarely, if ever, allow users to turn a LAN port into a WAN port.
Your first message said:
(I call to provider and he said not saw link from my WANport , but he saw link from my LAN ports when i insert the cable in any LAN ports).
What do they mean by "he saw link from my LAN ports when i insert the cable in any LAN ports"?
Just because the LAN ports work does not mean that there is a connection between the WAN port and the router. If your R8000 is bust, it is bust.
I hope you didn't pay much for it. Netgear released this device in 2016.
