Nighthawk X6 AC3200 not connecting to Spectrum Modem
I bought this router secondhand from someone and it appeared to be brand new in the box. I have downloaded the Nighthawk App to get the router set up. I am having issues getting the router to connect...

I tried your recommendation, but did not have any luck getting past the same point of "no cable detected".
Is the "loop test" of plugging an ethernet cable into the WAN port and in a LAN port on the R8000 a valid test to determine if the internet port is bad?

you should be able to wan-lan test it.
does the arris work if you directly connect your laptop?

When I do the LAN/WAN test, the internet LED does not light up, but the LAN port in use does light up.
The Arris does work if I just bypass the router completely and plug in directly to my computer.
