R7500v2 wireless working wired is not
Hello all,
A couple days ago all of my wired connections stopped working. Wireless is working fine. I use all 4 ports on my router and none of them can connect to the internet. The lights are blinking constant white with the exception of 1 orange, but that is because that connected device is off.
*I have restarted the modem and router.
*Factory reset the router.
What am I missing here?
I apprieciate the help,

It looks like a standard Optical Network Terminal rather than a router combo, but the presence of four Ethernet ports on something like that is new to me. It usually denotes a modem/router combination.
Some Google pages talk of it in router terms which takes you into double NAT country.

It may be that the LAN ports are connected to the Internet – that's why the lights are flashing – but there is a problem with the devices at the other end of the LAN cables.
What are those devices?
Thank you for responding.
3 desktops and a TV. They all stopped working at the same time via ethernet. 1 of the desktops and the TV have wireless capability and connect to the router fine.

What do the desktops say when you try to connect?
Windows can be picky about connecting to "new" networks. But it usually throws an error of some sort to warn you.
Tried running the TV through its setup process?
