Is this a new technology or a router issue?
Regardless of whether the lights are flashing or not, the internet remains operational.
One machine connects to the router using cat6, while the other uses cat5e.

I shared two photos, but only one is visible here; the other can be accessed through the link.
All ports have their lights off, yet the internet connection works fine.
I checked the speed using fast.com and Google Fiber test. The speeds are approximately 300mbps.
Standard flat Ethernet cables fall short of requirements and are frequently poorly constructed. They tend to cause network issues when employed. The recommended Ethernet cable is Cat 5e or Cat 6a – round, UTP, made of pure copper, with a diameter of 22-24 AWG. Avoid cables with aluminum or copper cladding. The yellow cable appears stretched and may have kinks at the connector. For now, keep "ipconfig /all" unchanged. Replace the flat cable with a verified round Ethernet cable that meets the specifications.
After using the Verizon CR1000A Router for a month, I believe the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" still applies, so I returned to my G1100. The CR1000A occasionally cut off my devices and computers (both cat 5/6 and Wi-Fi), which caused a lot of frustration.
