Netgear Router not working with modem

Advanced setup->

I then did all auto config settings all the way down the list. Internet connection type is now DHCP, IPV6 address is get automatically, and LAN setup is auto config. I looked into the manual on the router about ipv6 because my ISP was giving me ipv4 and ipv6 options. If you have my problem look in the routers manual about ipv6.

Swap LAN cables between modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Power OFF both Modem and Router for 1 minute, then back ON with the modem then router. Factory reset the router and walk thru it's setup wizard.
I highly doubt cat6 is recommended being both modem and router didnt come with it. I tried both cat 5e cords that came with router and modem. Also tried my 100ft cat6 i had laying around. Didnt work.
