R6700v2 Ethernet ports don’t output internet

[Marlene8]

R6700v2 nighthawk AC1750
When I plug an Ethernet cord into any of the ports 1-4 and than connect the other end to example computer or another device needing Internet it doesn’t have internet connection. The wifi works fine but using the router as a means for hardwire internet access non of the ports work they are orange.

Should I change the router to AP mode…?

I fear that "doesn't have Internet connection" could be down to many things.

Tell us more.

What is at the other end? A Windows PC?

What tells you that there is no Internet connection?

Only if you have a modem/router between the R6700v2 and the Internet.

Again, you don't provide enough information. What is your modem,if there is one?

@michaelkenward Is correct. 

We need more info to help you. 

1. what modem/gateway are you connecting to? 

2. what firmware is on the router? 

3. You're able to connect to the router but not to your gateway (hint again on what gateway you have). Are you able to ping the gateway using its address? 

4. what does your internet statistics page show?
