I was able to figure the issue out with your help. Ronnie was correct as I needed to setup NAT from the new network I created to the IP which connected to my Arris router. It had been a while since I setup NAT so I forgot the "ip nat inside" and "ip nat outside" commands on the interfaces of the router. Statically assigning the interface that connected to the Arris worked pretty much the same way as using "ip address DHCP" command because the issue was actually NAT. I will leave my Arris first inline because it has a firewall and the Cisco is just my lab equipment. I have saved that config just in case I forgot.
It's funny because I got frustrated with it and had moved on to watching the CCNA videos. I did not realize my mistake until I was watching Don and Ronnie compare config files that were backed up to the tftp server. I paused it and had a "duh" moment.
Sorry but this was the first chance I had really got to sit down and play with the equipment in a long time. This is now resolved. Thanks guys
