It is super weird. I have manually input r8000 MAC and CM1000 MAC address and both will not connect to internet. I have double checked with my ISP to make sure that my MAC was correct.

Why have you posted in this section of the Netgear community? You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to the Netgear Genie, itself a confusing label.
Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
