First try starting things in the right order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
I assume that you confirmed that the modem can connect to the Internet before you brought the router into the picture.
Routers cannot do magic. They can't mend a broken Internet connection.

Re: Wan light is red.
Clarifying, if I turn the zoom on the pc has no internet connection and through the router yes, but the wan light remained red.

Re: Wan light is red.
Sadly, that does not clarify much for me.
Can you connect the PC to the Internet without using the router?
If I interpret this bit correctly, the answer is no:

No amount of messing around with the R6080 will get you anywhere without that basic first step.

Re: Wan light is red.
Right, the problem is that connected by the router the WAN light turns red despite the internet working smoothly.
Why does it happen ? Light should be green!
