Warren is probably correct in that your router model is a demonstrated
piece of junk.
OTOH, you did power-cycle the modem first when the router was connected
to the modem? BTW, you do not need nor want to clone the MAC address of
the previous router. Simply pull the power from the modem for one
minute, reconnect the power, and the modem will find the router's MAC
address as the connected device.
