Router will not recognize Ethernet ports. I would like to use wired connections for a couple of devices but the router will only allow wireless ?

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. Swap out LAN cables between devices.
Be sure to power cycle the router OFF for 1 minute then back on.
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser.
