I can`t connect with the Internet
Hello!
My English is very weak, but I hope you will be able to understand what I mean. I have bought Netgear AC4000 and I have been trying to connect it to the Internet for 3 days so far. I switch my Ethernet cable to yellow place in the Netgear and another one to my modem to LAN. Unfortunately, there is no white Internet LED. And in the internet GENIE I get a message like this: "No Ethernet cable is plugged into the Router Internet Port" What am I doing wrong? I hope my netgear is not broken. Please, help me to resolve this problem.

What is your modem? Make and model?
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number, R8000P, and check the documentation for your hardware.
Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.My modem is NetiaSpot. I updated firmware. Do I need change anything in my modem settings? For example BRIDGE option?

This does not tell us enough about the modem. Is that the only bit of kit that NetiaSpot makes?
Does it have a model number? Is it also a router? (Many modems are also routers.)

If that is an option on the modem, then it is probably a router and you could try that to avoid this:
