Sue did you manage to resolve the netgear R8000 not showing internet as I have exactly the same problem please see attached image.
It also says that no ethernet cable is plugged into the router internet port but this is wrong as it is connecrted and it works when I connect my other router a link-sys & also a tp-link.
It is reporting no internet but this is false reporting.
if you resolved yours it maybe something similar?
Thanks Hugh
