When I try to plug in the Ethernet cable from my computer into my router, I just get the little yellow warning triangle, but when I plug the Ethernet directly into the modem, the internet works perfectly on this computer, but only for this computer. The Wi-Fi won't work on any device in the house, I even have another computer plugged into the router (Ethernet) and now that computer is getting the little yellow warning triangle.
Router: Netgear Nighthawk R7000
Modem: Cisco Model DPC3825


Little Warning triangle:

Solution
your modem can associate with one device at a time. right now its associated with your computer.

to associated the modem with the router you have to connect the WAN port on the router to the modem. Power off the modem, wait 30 sec and power it back on.
