Dear Friend!
I agree with you. It is a kind of bug! My problem WAS the same. I didn't do anything and one day the "Internet" appeared as "connected". So, the solution is waiting that the router will fix itself!

Are you using the R8000 as an Access Point? If so, then it's normal for it to report that the Internet is not connected.

No, I am not using as Access Point. I am using as router. The strange thing that the Netgear Genie installed at the Windows 10 shows the internet as "good "! But, I can't understand what it is happening at the Netgear web brownser. Why does it indicate the internet is not connect?

The router is probably running some kind of test (such as pinging a specific IP address) that is failing. If you click on the red Internet square, this should take you to the Internet Setup screen. Does anything look unusual?
If you go to ADVANCED > Administration > Logs do you see any error messages?

I didn´t find anything at the internet screen. For me is ok. And also there are not error messages at the logs. The internet led is blinking white. Is it normal?
