    go into network to see how many dns name servers you have, if there is only 2 press blue to add new name server, I had the same problem with 3 ethernet cables going into my vm router.
    I added another one and got connection through lan.
    Its worth a try

    On that screen shot you have posted, press blue button and it will give you the option to add new dns besides primary and secondary dns . Enter 194.168.10.100 and press green to save, check to see if lights are flashing at ethernet port and box and modem.
    If its flashing restart box

    I’ve never encountered any network issues on my SF8008. Bizarre.

    I have another SF8008 for my parents and that has been sweet and no issues. However i bought that 6 months ago. This box was bought about a month ago. Will try the 3rd DNS suggestion.

    I know this is an old post but any updates? I have 2 SF8008's the cable/sat at mine and sat at my folks. Never had any issues with network on mine but a while ago noticed no connection at my folks had a good check as nothing had changed and eventually managed to get it connecting after restarting the network. Just gone to update box again today and again no connection, this time couldn't get get it back, factory restored the router flashed the box, followed tips on here and got nowhere, luckily found a WiFi adaptor what I used a few years ago and back to having connection, can't figure out what's amiss when connected directly and didn't have the time to do anything else to be honest, no settings had been changed and my dad said not even powered off just let's it sit in standby each night.
