Hey all - been fiddling with this all day to no avail, and had to go back to my old set up until I can get it figured out.
Current modem from Spectrum through the router works fine, no issues and all internet works.
Switch to the new router, the MB8600, via Spectrum website and it works fine hardwired to the PC. Try to plug in via the router and no internet. The "troubleshoot" error says the modem isn't working.
Went back to the original modem and no issues. No cables were moved off of the router and all connections were checked.
What am I missing? It has to be something dumb.
Diagram as requested by Ralston18, using the names of the ports on the devices:
