No Internet via LAN
I own a NETGEAR Orbi Pro AC3000 Business Mesh WiFi System, 2-Pack, Wireless Access Point (SRK60) and cannot access the internet via ethernet hard-wired LAN. I have a multitude of wireless devices...

Because I was spending far too much time on this problem, I fixed it, but in an unconventional way. I remembered taht I had an older ASUS router, and I set it up as a DHCP server. I then turned off the ASUS WiFi radios, and connected all of my LAN lines to the ASUS router.
Next, I reconfigured the Netgear Orbi Router to be a plain and simple WiFi access point that is plugged into the ASUS router. I now can do everything I need to do over the LAN. And I have very good WiFi via the Orbi. Thank you RaghuHR for your help. I sincerely appreciate that you were willing to go the extra mile with me to figure things out. But I now consider the problem fixed.

Yes I checked all those but as I mentioned I do not see you have tried DHCP option. Please check the screen here that I've attached.
Observe the routerand DNS server IP address should be your Orbi router IP address. I see this is missing from your screen shot.
Thanks,
Raghu

Thank you for your reply, RaghuHR. I could have sworn that I sent you one with DHCP and everything filled in. But I am on the road right now, and won't be back to my home network for a couple of days. I will gladly try your suggestion, and I will let you know the results. Thanks again,
