Perhaps the next time you ask for help, you should try to imagine
what it's like for a reader who doesn't know what you're thinking,
including why you're doing any of this, and can't see what you see,
including what you did, or what happened when you did it.
I tend to be put off by people who waste everyone's time with
information-free problem descriptions. And then fail to answer any of
the resulting questions and requests for basic information.

Aug 12, 2021We have followed the manual several times already, so its something we are missing, and to answer your other questions:
1. Replacing our old R7000.
2. Attached image
3. I am unsure if we even have a modem, we are unsure how it looks like, again, the attached image.
4. The new network created by hooking up the router, Netgear82
5. The lights for the 2.4 and 5G WIFI on the router itself are static white
6. What I meant is that I saw we could spoof the MAC address, and saw that the router dashboard settings pass on when switching the router.
7. It can be nice to have when not on the computer.
